Of course the hospital isn't going to let someone film a patient's chart- especially that of a minor. It doesn't matter what the case is, they have liability and privacy issues to contend with.

s & f! most of us from day 1 knew the swine flu vaccine caused more problems then solutions

I see no reason to film the chart either. Msnbc is capable of covering this story without a picture of it.

There needs to be some word put on the msm, an interview with the doctor and family if possible, but I see no reason for us to need to broadcast his medical chart.

That said, when is msnbc going to start talking about this on tv? I must have missed it.

“There are events that follow vaccination. That’s what they are, they happened to follow vaccination."

Vaccines are double plus good?

A patients' observation chart is confidential information as is other medical information. I am not savvy to US medical law but in the UK the fact that his parents gave permission is neither here nor there. The hospital was merely protecting the patients' confidentiality.

Yeah, I don't think there's a conspiracy here, I just think that it's pretty obvious that hospitals would never be able to dislose stuff like that because of its confidentiality.

Might as well go to a bank and ask a teller if you can take a photograph of someone's bank account records, complete with name, personal information, and their PIN number(s). It's somewhat the same deal. No conspiracy, just a badly thought idea.

The fact that this warrants an article is just adding to swine flu hysteria, and it's not as if the world doesn't already have enough of that.

If the parents want MSNBC to see it why not just request a copy, black out any private info and give it to MSNBC?

I'm going to see where this goes before calling conspiracy, but it is important to watch. If the parents really want this information out there and the hospital still obstucts we've still got a story.

I don't know, I think it's the hospital's responsibility to not let details like that slip out. It's just one of those silly things. I'm sure they'd do the same if the person had the common cold.

It's just all about procedure. It can seem really stupid, but it's just one of those things.

I support the hospital in this
But
The parents can request and get a copy of all the medical records.
Then if they want, they can make them public.
