does continue to come off as substandard in this story. I run a clinic and this simply would be an impossible scenario given that we run a 21st century clinic a) with electronic records and b) zero possibility of anyone entering the old paper chartroom without being allowed entry. People do have the right to access their records, we give out copies all the time. We also have lawyers, law enforcement and parents court ordered to stay away from their children showing up at the window and summarily turned away nearly as often. People do not under any circumstances have any right to confiscate their records or destroy them completely. To be honest, many people may not realize this -- Trump certainly doesn't, in this day and age it is nearly impossible to destroy your records, especially here in New York, because everyone's records are uploaded electronically to the cloud. Fodder for a whole new thread I imagine.
