Question about surgical reports in Canada?

My mom has always had access to her medical reports. Had no troubles with the medical record department giving her reports on surgeries, blood work, or biopsy reports. We requested a surgical report on a second surgery and they could not find it. So they done some digging and found the charts but had no report done. This surgery was done in Oct of 2008. They told my mom that she can have the report if she pays $57 to get it. Why now does she have to pay for a report that by law is her property?

This doesn't sound right! I
This doesn't sound right! I don't know what hospital your mother had the surgery @, but the one where I am being treated (in Toronto) allows you to see reports on-line. I would ask the person you talked to why they are asking for this payment. Could it be because it has been awhile since the surgery.0
