Guest guest Posted July 3, 2002 Report Share Posted July 3, 2002 Debe If they actually did what you think they did, I have a serious doubt they would be honest in the report, then again, ya never know right? They may have figured that you would never see it. Either way I would get the records, it is good to have them if you need them for something and also since they destroy them after awhile it is good to get them before that happens. I cannot understand why any Dr would try to hide this from a patient, I mean if they were molding that could mean serious implications to your health, it is realy terrible to hide this from you. Good luck girl and keep us posted. hugs ----- Original Message ----- From: " ldebe " <ldebe@...> < > Sent: Tuesday, July 02, 2002 7:15 PM Subject: Re: Your med records > Thanks Girls for all the support and replys.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2002 Report Share Posted July 4, 2002 Debe, Ethically and legally, yes, your op report should state the condition, color, odor, etc (especially if there is an an obvious abnormality, such as black color). Is this being done consistently? I doubt it. Hard to prove if it's never done..... e ----- Original Message ----- From: ldebe Sent: Tuesday, July 02, 2002 6:16 PM Subject: Re: Your med records Thanks Girls for all the support and replys.
