I underwent some very costly test performed in the US at the request of Dr Ray Sridhawi and the Dr will not allow me to have copies of my test. I have never experienced that in any hospital or clinic in any country, and I have been treated in the UK, US, Austria, France, Italy, Spain , Sweden, Bosnia, Croatia, Greece, Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaraguan, Costa Rica, Brazil among others. Not even the NHS will deny a patient access to tests performed at the request of a Dr or a specialist. I consider this to be a violation of my rights as a patient Bianca J.
