Hi PurpleMirrors,

You make a very valid point - but you don't have to read them, you could just get copies and rest in knowing they will not be altered after the fact should there ever be a supboena. The point is, they are legal record, no different then your birth certificate or your ID, tax forms, etc. In my opinion notes should be accessible to clients AT ALL TIMES without the 30 day wait period.. Knowing what is done to health records has opened my eyes to this. But I understand and validate your concerns - they are valid and completely understandable.

Thanks,
