The problem of ownership and possession of patient's medical records has been reviewed. The apparent fallacies in the presently accepted legal doctrines regarding ownership of the patient's records by health care providers have been submitted. The legal approaches and tactics available to implement the accessibility and availability of his records to the patient have been reviewed. The problems incident to the employment of statutory enactments as a means of putting the patient's record in his possession have been considered. The various legal theories that could conceivably be utilized in establishing this right on a case-to-case basis in the courts have been presented. The medicolegal implications relating to medical records have been discussed.

The pathologic investigation of a death caused by drug abuse need not be considered an onerous task. The investigator must be aware that it is a medicolegal investigation and proceed with the examination in a scientific and methodical manner, having verified all the circumstances, ascertained the evidence, and--most important--approached the problem as a multidisciplinary investigation requiring coordination of all information with proper authorities. The drug abuse problem cannot be considered to be fading, and with the advent of new sources of drugs, increased availability of others, and the emergence of newer synthetic compounds, the problem of drug abuse requires not only scientific knowledge but also challenges the detective in the pathologist.

Malignant hyperthermia is a pathophysiologic process, the occurrence of which is nearly impossible to predict, the diagnosis difficult to discover rapidly, and the treatment unsuccessful in the majority of cases as is borne by the high mortality rate. It is in almost all instances, a fortuitous event, and liability will most probably not be imposed unless the plaintiff can establish by way of expert testimony that defendant-anesthesiologist departed from acceptable methods of care. Definite departures from the present standard of care could be: (1) administering a potent general anesthetic utilizing halogenated inhalation agents and depolarizing muscle relaxants to an individual who has undergone a previous malignant hyperthermia episode, and possibly to a member of his immediate family; (2) failing to have available appropriate resuscitative equipment; and of course, (3) lack of diligence and due care in attempting to treat a case of malignant hyperthermia. It seems, at this point, that serum CPK levels and constant temperature monitoring are additional safeguards, but are not part of the standard of care imposed upon the anesthesiologist.
