Question:

My sons records from hospital whe he died. he was 21 febury 13th was born.?

what did they do with him

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The records will be kept at the hospital for 5-10 years (depends on the state's malpractice statutes). Then they will be sent into storage for 10 years at an off-site location.

If he is dead and was not married, then you have the right to request his medical records. Most hospitals prefer that you request them through a doctor, but it doesn't have to be. You will need to write a letter stating that he died, enclose a copy of his death certificate, and note that you are now his legal representative and next of kin. Request copies of all ER notes, surgical reports, pathology reports, radiology/nuclear medicine reports and the discharge summary.
