They can't refuse you any of your records...and they can't refuse you access to your biopsy slides.

We took custody of J's slides from both biopsies way back in March. I may or may not return them to the hospital. We might still need them. The hospital asked where we were sending them. We told them it was none of their business. Because...it isn't.

You are entitled to every piece of information pertaining to your care and every little scrap of tissue removed from your body.

I'd get the rest of J's tissue samples preserved in formalin if it wasn't such a creepy thing to have hanging around the house...:6 A little too....ummm...Jeffrey Dahmer.

Also, you can get copies of scans on CD.
