Hi People, I'm new to this sight!
Question: I had a FUT unshaven transplant back in 2011 from a practice in the UK which i was not happy with the outcome.(do i give name?). It was only yesterday 11th November 2019 that i called them to find out if they could pass on to me the records of my pictures and how many grafts i had etc. They looked me up and said that they did not have them anymore as they only have to keep records for 6 years. I was shocked as this is not like keeping a bank statement for 6 years as its a medical procedure and likened to your medical records at your Dr which stays with you for life! So the question is is this normal for a practice to get rid of your records after this amount of time? Also what if i wanted to go back there for another procedure and they say sorry we don't know what we did last time as the records have been deleted! Seems wrong to me! Has anyone else ever experienced this ? Look forward to people's responce.
Thanks
