Yesterday I requested my medical records from my eye dr's office. She said the dr. had to sign off [View all]
on the release and they won't be ready to pick up till Monday at the earlies.
The doctor did my cataract surgery and I'm still having problems 6 months after the surgery. I followed up with him a couple of weeks ago to discuss the problems. He said everything looked fine and said it was from dry eyes.
I decided to get a second opinion and saw a specialist at Emory a couple of days ago. She thinks there is more to it than dry eyes and wants to see me again in 4 weeks and told me to get the records from the doctor that did the surgery.
Is it normal for it to take 3 days to pick up medical records and the doctor to have to sign off on them before they can be released or is it to CYA? I've only been a patient there since March and seen the doctor maybe 8 times.
Sadly, I don't know if there's anything that can be done to correct the eye at this point. I'm beyond depressed.
