Can a doctor be sued for writing blasphemous things in your medical records even if he words it in a way that does not actually acuse but still has the same end result?

Probably not - you can consult with an attorney if you wish but there seems to be no grounds for libel, slander, or defamation especially since, under HIPAA, your records are not available for general publication to anyone. REMEMBER - you own your own records. If you believe that there are improper and non-medical comments included in your records, ask to see your medical file and edit the offending remarks out with a black permanent marker. THEN GET A NEW DOCTOR.

Legal Access Of Medical Records?

Medical records were once very loose in respect to who could access them. Doctors 100 years ago could discuss one person’s health with their neighbor, friends or family. Today, the laws are much different. Records slowly gained more protection over the last century, but within the last decade the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA, was enacted to provide limited outside access to an individual’s medical records and full access to the individual. These laws are so strict that health practitioners other than the individual’s doctor are not allowed to view medical records. In some cases, minimal information is shared. For example, if a person was injured and visited their primary physician and was then sent to a physical therapist for therapy, the therapist would only be informed about the incident. If further information must be gathered that pertained to the incident or injury itself, the therapist could request it from the patient. The doctor is not allowed to divulge unnecessary medical information to another party, though. If the doctor or office staff handling the patient’s records informed the therapist about the patient having AIDS, which is unrelated to the injury, they could face legal consequences. Depending on the extent of a violation of privacy laws related to medical records, punishments vary. Suspension or revocation of a medical license is commonly seen, as well as fines and court proceedings. Another important question many people have about medical records is self-access. Medical offices may give patients grief when their records are requested, but every consumer should know their rights in this matter. According to the law, since April 14, 2003, medical records are no longer the sole property of the hospital. Before this date, records did not have to be released to patients who requested them; this was left to the discretion of the staff. Everyone is entitled to view their own medical records from any facility that provides treatment today. If, after contacting a medical office where care was provided, difficulty is experienced in obtaining records, consumers may find further information online. A government-based website, http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/personalmedicalrecords.html provides information concerning how to access personal medical records. This website is only for patients who are looking to access their own medical records. Parents may see their minor child’s medical records; those who are a guardian for elderly or disabled persons may have access to partial records, depending on the situation.


How do you get records from a Doctor Who has died?

A patient has the right to their records although there is a fee (at least in Canada) but it's minimal. Since your doctor died, then either there is another physician that took his place and they would have your records or, the doctor's office would usually tell you of another doctor to see and when you do they will automatically pass your records to them. If there is another doctor that took the place of your doctor and you don't care to be treated by him/her you can request your medical records be released. They will make you sign a document of release.
