Dear LawGuru Friend,

First call her office and leave a message about

this problem and ask for immediate assistance.

Secondly, don't stop there; contact the state

medical society and ask what your rights are,

as well as the medical records department of the

hospital where you are to have your surgery. Also,

ask the doctor who is to do the surgery to help you

with this problem. Finally, feel free to send me your

name and phone number and I will call you and

discuss this problem with you, at no charge to you.

Also, together we can research the Louisiana statutes

concerning such rights to medical records.

Looking forward to hearing from you, I am

Sincerely,

Hardy Parkerson, J.D.
