I know I have a right to them, and I'm an old hand at requesting my files from almost everything. I have a whole binder of all sorts of records, especially lab tests. I get a copy of all of those.
But I've never felt strongly enough to make an issue of it. When he has read the notes, they have been fairly innocuous. The sort of minimal notetaking he feels he needs to do under the law. But he says he doesn't take extensive notes because he wants to maintain patient privacy, and I haven't known him to lie. But I still wonder why he won't let me see the notes if there's nothing really in them. ??? Maybe one day I'll talk to him about it.
