This was one of the most commonly asked questions from the hundreds of individuals who contacted the Committee. There is no simple answer.
Medical records are the place to start.
They should provide information on what condition you or your relative was treated for, what treatment was actually given, and who administered this treatment. See part III.A for further details. You have a legal right to your own medical records and, with the proper authorization, to a relative's medical records. By contacting the facility where the treatment occurred, you should be able to request and obtain the records. The next step is to have a qualified medical professional review the records to ascertain whether the treatment administered was acceptable for the patient's condition.
