How do you get records from a Doctor Who has died?

A patient has the right to their records although there is a fee (at least in Canada) but it's minimal. Since your doctor died, then either there is another physician that took his place and they would have your records or, the doctor's office would usually tell you of another doctor to see and when you do they will automatically pass your records to them. If there is another doctor that took the place of your doctor and you don't care to be treated by him/her you can request your medical records be released. They will make you sign a document of release.

The medical records of Booker T. Washington, the famous African-American who founded the Tuskegee Institute, have recently been re-examined during a medical conference at the University of Maryland. When Washington died in 1915 after suffering from headaches, fatigue, and weight loss, his doctor wrote in his records that Washington died of "racial characteristics." This generic term often refered to either high blood pressure or syphilis. At the medical conference this year, it was determined that Booker T. Washington died of high blood pressure.


If your father died and you want to know when he died how can you get that information?

You can contact the courthouse records department where he died and ask for a copy of his death certificate. It will likely list the exact time of death. Or if you are a legally acknowledged child of his with proof of that relationship, you can also ask to read or obtain a copy of the medical records, from his doctor, or if he died in a hospital to get the time of death from the records there. They will need specific information about your relationship to be able to release that to you, so write or call first to find out what they will need to be able to give you that health information.


How do you find medical records on someone who died in early 1900s?

Nearly IMPOSSIBLE to do that. None of them are on any computer, and if they still exist, they are paper and in a dusty file cabinet some place in a basement. Most have been long destroyed long ago. An outside chance would be if you could find the doctor's descendants and if they happened to keep the records. A death certificate may also show cause of death.
