Interesting story on medical records for mental patients at a state  hospital.
A client of mine wrote to OK for her mother's medical records as a family  
member had been diagnosed as Bipolar.  The mother was admitted in 1941 and  died 
in the 1970'.  The request was made in the early 90's.
Low and behold, after signing the appropriate documents and providing proof  
that she was the daughter, she received a rather large copy of the medical  
file.  Imagine after 20 years. Net result was that it was very informative  to 
all in the family, most of which never really knew the circumstances of the  
initial hospitalization and subsequent treatment.
