Question:
We represent a client who is a combat veteran. He is a patient of Jane Jones, a psychiatrist. He sent a medical record request to Dr. Jones, and she gave him records that were clearly redacted (with information missing). He has come to us asking for help to get a complete record. Can the doctor give less than full records? What should our client do? What if the doctor is concerned that there is material in the records that will cause our client stress or trigger an episode of Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome if the patient reviews the records without medical supervision. What if the doctor fears that the patient may be offended by her medical opinion and try to harm the doctor? What if the doctor just does not want to share the records? If a medical release request is properly signed by. a patient and compliant with all relevant laws, can a physician refuse to comply? Use any sources to research this question. Your answer can be short.
