I am still waiting to get my medical records in the mail. It is driving me crazy. I want to move forward, toward surgery, and I am stuck. This is so frustrating.

Do you guys think I should do something about trying to find out what happened to my records when they were supposed to have been sent the last time? I mean should I be worried about where they ended up? I am wondering if I should call the place that copies the records and mails them out, and asking them to track it down and see if they can retrieve them. I don't think I want my records just ending up somewhere, where I have no clue. Isn't there some HIIPA violation at work here? Though I don't know how they are supposed to get records to people (offices) without some risk of privacy violations.
