Hospitals are notoriously bad at the retaining, guarding and handling of records. I'm sure your family Dr. or specialist would have a lot of helpful information on you as well. Good luck with this.

University Hospital discarded them because it had been over ten years (or another amount of time) and they aren't required to keep them.

Children's didn't send them because something in the wording of the request was wrong.

It is not the hospitals job to make sure people correctly request the documents that is on the University who should know how to do it correctly.

Almost everything that is used as comic material nowadays has a serious flip-side that could be taken as serious.  

However, the hospital saying the hell with it and possibly denying me the chance to have a life-altering procedure isn't wrong enough to be mad about?  

And the wording was on the university, but it's on the hospital that they didn't notify either part of the mistake so that it could be modified to make sure that it got done.  My life being changed at such a drastic level is not something that should be taken lightly by them.

Update:  One of my lawyer friends said that, if Children's doesn't have my records sent to me soon, that he'll take legal action and make it all happen (he saw my Facebook update on it because many people have been requesting updates and he sent me a private message).  My mom says she thinks that the records that my lawyer sent has most of what we need, just not everything.
