Jyes, i read quickly through your post,and right off the top pf my head, I can tell you those nurses, etc are full of it - I never had any problem getting my MRI, labs, or any other reports from my GP, even if they were ordered by other docs. And I've never paid acent for them, ANYWHERE! When I was going thru the 'motions' for my lawsuit, I got copies of everything - and so did my attorney. By the time my lawsuit was settled, my attorney had a full carrogated file box and a half of records!
I hope you are more successful in the future!
