Recently, I got angry with neuro #1 and asked for my test results. I figured he didn't seem to want to treat me anymore; but was charging me hundreds of $'s for no help. I know these diseases are difficult to diagnose and it needs to be narrowed down; but sometimes you know when to move on. Well, I paid for my test results (which is ridiculous to begin with bc they're your results and you and your ins pays for them); but I get to my van and I am reading over the tests. I come across 1 that says MRI of the brain for TIA's which was normal. I never had an MRI of the brain - I had 1 of the neck and 1 of the cervical area (which on a 5' - 5'1" person to me is the same), I looked at the name. I had someone elses results, with their name, date of birth, address, phone no, and soc sec number. Thank GOD for me to receive this because many people could use this and do some terrible things with it. Now I contacted the hospital and asked almost begged the lady in the legal dept not to do anything until after my appt this Mon. Well, I missed the call from the drs. office and asked me to call them back. I thought it was just to confirm the appt; but oh no the drs office was interrogated by the legal dept from the hospital and wanted to know how I got her info. Now should I even bother going to the appt? And how do you think they are going to treat me now? I didn't do anything wrong but now I am actually afraid of going! I was planning on trying to get the drs notes so I can have them forwarded to my GP so I can go to Hopkins. Where are my rights, it's not my fault they had incompetent pople working in the office. And who could have had access to mine? If anyone has come up against this, please respond and let me know how you handled it. Thanks!
