I had to appear in court today as a witness. We had dutifully sent off copies of records to the lawyers and all however they released all of the physicians from the case so they were forced to drag in custodians of the records to swear they were the real deal.
Raise yer right hand....
Do you so swear?
Yes, sir.
Be seated.
Lawyer introduced me, presented the copies of the medical records and asked me if they were the records of name, date of birth etc.
Yes.
Please examine them.
I fluffled through them and commented that I saw records from another hospital mixed in with the Coquille records.
Then an argument developed between the three lawyers and the judge.
Consensus reached, the Court will accept the records from CVH with the records from SCH redacted.
That means they took out the wrong hospitals copies and gave them to the court.
You may be excused.
Thank you! (Big cheesy smile)
Um, hospitals do not ordinarily release OTHER Hospitals medical records because they are the property of the other hospital y'see.
Learnt that in HIM101. Yeppers.
