It has already been established that rxs are deemed a medical record. You state it is expired. Ok, the patient is still entitled to a copy. The only way you are breaking the law is by refusing the patient a copy. Again, why do you feel the need to be difficult and turn your customer off. Try being nice and give the lady her parameters for Pete's sake! She might return to your store to purchase something. As it stands now, she will never come back or anybody she knows. If you treat me right I will tell a few people, if you treat me wrong I will tell everybody! Good luck staying in business.
