Release of Medical Records Holding Up Transfer of Baby Joseph

Release of Medical Records Holding Up Transfer of Baby Joseph | LifeNews.com: There are U.S. physicians in Michigan willing to oversee Baby Joseph’s outpatient care and assist in weaning him off the home ventilator should it be necessary. We have yet to find one facility that said it would not perform the tracheostomy on Baby Joseph. The real problem is that health care providers in the U.S. need Baby Joseph’s medical records — but the Canadian authorities are refusing to release them. Canadian law requires the hospital to release these records to Baby Joseph’s parents upon request. And to date, they have refused.

    Perhaps you've already seen the later posts on the blog, but Baby Joseph has been released and transferred to a US hospital.
