For anyone reading this thread: Often, you don't mention what country you are in. While EmpowHer is based in the U.S. and (for now!) the moderators/guides all work in the U.S., we would be glad to try to research something specific in another country if that would help you. Often the writer doesn't give us an indication that they live in another country, so we aren't as helpful as we'd like to be.

Crowsister, depending on where you live In Australia, there IS something called the Victorian Health Records Act of 2002 that gives you access to your medical records. Here's a summary of what you can receive, and from whom:

That affects all your health information held by private-sector doctors and organizations after July 1, 2002.

And this page talks a bit about other areas in Australia:

Where do you live in Australia? Does this help?
