What is the best way to get past medical records from a surgery done in 1988?

I'd contact the hospital and ask to see your medical record from the period. I'd also try and find out what your rights are if you are denied access. Under most FOI rules, you are allowed access to your records held by most Government Departments. If you are in the US, you own the right to your records.

First thing is to check with the hospital as they have to keep a detailed record of the persons whom they employ. Second should teh records not be as accurtae as you would like you should look up the original business address and from tehre check teh small business bureau to see if the the comapny is still in existence if it is not then you will have to look at the over all pictures you have and take them to be be scanned touched up or do it your self. The main point is that if you have some coopys you can always get new prints of the ones you have in your poession.

The law states medical records only have to be kept for 7 years from date of service.  The records from the 40's were probably purged long ago and destroyed.  Since she just passed away 7 years ago, the records may not have been purged yet, but are due to be purged and destroyed.  However, if she is not going to the same doctor that she did in the 40's or the same clinic or hospital, chances are you will not be able to obtain them.  Sorry, with all the laws now a days, it would be hard to get them anyway.

go to the courhouse and ask where you can view records,.  It will be free unless you want a copy.  Then you will have to pay  a minimal charge .   I foyu do it online it may costs something, but again not that much.

Try the Texas Medical Board's website www.tmb.tx.us\nIt may be that you are thinking of HIPAA which is a federal law.\n\nI'd contact a bonded document destruction company and ask them if they are authorized to do medical records  They'll come to you, either shred the files on site or take them off to be shredded and give you a receipt.

Do a search for VA in St Louis.  They have may different offices there.  That is were all records are kept after a soldier discharges or retires from service.  Try VA medical records.

Not that I know of.  There are plenty of sites (such as webmd.com) to find general medical information, but most doctors wouldn't put your records on the Web.  For one thing, there's no reward for them to put in that effort. For another (at least in the US) there are laws about privacy that would probably scare the docs out of doing any such thing.

If they are ur records they are technically ur property...soooo u should be able to go there w/ a picture I.D. and tell them you need ur records...for some reason nowadays they do make u pay a fee (i got my husbands records and it didnt have the length of 13 surgerys and it was like $20.) There should be no problem..Dont give up u tell em whats what if they think they can just say tuff shit then they will walk all over you.\nG/L

You question really doesnt make any sense. Are you trying to determine where and how a medical record was accessed? This is called requesting an Accounting of Disclosures from the provider. Otherwise, please update your question.

i work in a surgery and it is likely that they may have all or at least some of the records. if they haven't they will have a telephone number for your local imms record centre, which will be able to tell you what u want. hope this is of help.

The most effective way is to use "Time machine" which may take you back 1937. If not avlbl with u then the only way is to search in libraries or searching in net
