Re: Medical release law
If you want to request the medical records of another person the only ways to get them are with that person's permission or with a court order.
If you are concerned that your records have been released without your permission or without a court order, then you need to question the person holding the records whether this was done and why. If the records were released without proper authorization, there may have been an invasion of privacy.
