At whatever hospital the patient is attending, there is a small office usually called the "records" department, there you will walk in, and give them all your information, usually there is a small fee for sending out your medical records. Under certain conditions, a physician will not disclose the medical records with the patient unless there is another doctor or person of authority that wishes to see the record... in that case the physician or person of authority needs to send in a retrieval letter. If there aren't any disclosure issues on the medical records placed by the initial physician, the medical records can be easily obtained by the patient within two weeks max.
