Ok, let me get this straight about medical documents.

[RandySF]

I moved to California from Michigan in 2006 and, during my first medial appointment at Kaiser, I completed a two-page form to request that my medical records be transferred to my new physician. Am I missing something? Is there a different procedure for presidents that involve busting into offices?

1. Clearly you can't walk in an doctors office and take records that belong to the doctor.

5. It's a question.

In this case, the doctor's office has as its manager and chief executive the person who took the documents.

The doctor's records were a work made for hire by a government employee. Trump heads the executive office that the doctor's sub-organization is a part of.

In other words, it's not quite so clear as it would be if I walked into my doctor's office and took the records he made. I don't hold a position as the head honcho in his practice. His is a sole proprietorship, so he owns the paper or server space that they're on.

6. The doctor owns the records. Not dump.

7. No. The records were allegedly taken from a private practice

Bornstein doesn't work for the government. That's who is claiming the records were stolen.

But even if it were the case that it was Jackson, the government doctor, HIPAA requirements would still need to be followed and a proper notification be provided. It wasn't Trump who took the documents (no doubt it would have interrupted his golf time or his executive nap time), it was people claiming to be acting on behalf of Trump. Still a HIPAA violation to take somebody else's medical records without proper documentation.

2. They forward copies

new medical doctor knows your medical history. Done.

3. If your new Dr is a lying drunken pill pusher and your old Dr

Is lying flakey weirdo

Then you hire thugs and bust down doors.

And they find the dead hooker and Jack Nicholson stars in the movie

4. I think medical documents can be a point of blackmail for the President .
