was trying to figure out how to post without a wall of text
long story short
cousin with copd went to hospital #1, said had pneumonia, stayed 3 days release
3-4 days later, had issues again, went to hospital #1, stated over a week, pneumonia still
released from hospital, to rehab for 2 weeks, after 3 days, no rehab as hospital didn't send orders, multiple request from staff and family
after 4/5 days, issues again, went to hospital #2, they requested records from hospital #1, got nothing, multiple request from staff and family
over 2 weeks everything went south, never got records.

both hospital are owned by the same mega health system, they all share records instantly, as far as i know, hospital #1 has said nothing other than we are working on it.
don't know the details, but her oldest son has filed official complaints

i have never heard of a hospital loosing nearly 2 weeks of records. maybe there could be issues with the doctors' notes? as i know everything a nurse does is recorded with their scan system. anyone ever had a place not release records?

I deal with medical record gathering all the time with financial planning. Hospitals and doctor offices simply don’t give a damn. It’s not a priority for them, it’s a nuisance and a cost. A patient legally owns their medical records and can’t be denied, but it’s not always fast. There’s a reason these places carry so much Med-Mal and E&O insurance.

That has more to do with the predatory vultures we have in this country and jury of “peers” being the deciding factor than any actual malpractice.

Sorry for your loss OP but if it’s any consolation there’s not a lot of secret information during a COPD exacerbation that would somehow change management a week later at a different hospital.
