Question:
my primary physian's office had a major fire on xmas eve

does anyone know if medical records are kept in a separate office or on the computer. I am just beginning my quest for wls surgery and would hate to get a new primary.    — debbie W. (posted on December 28, 2003)

Sorry but you will probally need to get a new PCP unless your dr is going to see patients else where I would get a letter stating that you were a patient and have been seeing her for approximent time but do to the fire all exact information is gone. GET THAT NOTE.

I know from working in Medical Records that they should be kept in fire proof file cabinets. Hopefully they've been practicing this. Good luck.
