I had open heart surgery 3yrs ago,it was taped . How can i get a copy of this?
I had a tumor wrapped around my heart ,was told I was like the third person in the world to have this.

I know i have rights but i don't know what they are,when this was done i asked my docs. for a copy and they pretended like they didn't hear me. Is there a web site i can go to,tooget me started in getting this video,so i know my rights exactly.

In Houston Texas

You have rights as a patient to your records but normally if something is taped they do not make multiple copies. To get your records you must go to the medical records department of the hospital where the surgery was done and sign a release paper and they will make you copies usually for a dollar a page.

You may want to contact a lawyer who specializes in medical problems he may be able to direct you.
