Is it possible for my ex husband to look up my medical notes?
I’ve recently been diagnosed with a condition which requires major surgery although recovery prognosis is good. But it’s a possibility that I may need a carer for up to a year whilst I rehabilitate. If all goes well I should make a full recovery but I have been informed that a long rehab period is a small possibility.
Unfortunately I’m currently caught in a bad divorce where ex wants full custody of dc.
I haven’t told him about the illness and don’t wish to in case he uses it against me. He’ll obviously have to know I’m having surgery as it will affect our dc but for all he knows it could be something routine.
However he is a doctor (GP) and I’m afraid if he looks up my records he will use this information against me.
I know he’s not allowed to in theory but I wouldn’t put it past him to look it up on the sly. He’s not stupid and won’t ever admit it but there are undoubtedly ways that he could force this information to come out.
Are there any doctors on MN who knows if he’s able to do this?
