37. Patients can also physically examine and look at their original files.

Some reports just don't lend themselves to copying, or the quality might make the copy illegible, so the patient may want to make notes or even take photos. Or they just want to double check that they got everything.

The copying service also comes with a cost, and that can got a bit pricey if the patient also wants copies of xrays or imaging scans.
