There is a department that you'd call for that at that hospital. They'll probably charge a fee.
Thats like totally top secert stuff there. Unless they are of your own and or maybe maybe a family member .. you will never see them I am sure.
Send a request in writing to the records custodian!
Why don't you call the records office for the hospital? Or walk into the records department and ask for them? They would be the ones to guide you on obtaining what you need. Medical records can't just disappear.
they should give them to you and it is going to have fee with that. dont know much but i know you can get them

I believe that they have to keep these records somewhere. It used to be that they kept a hard copy for X years, then microfilmed them. You should be able to submit a written request for your records from the Medical Records department of the hospital and, as someone has already said, they will probably have a fee to get the copies.
If you are the person who had the surgeries, or are the legal guardian of same, or have Power of Attorney for that person you have the legal right to request the records. Contact the Medical Records Director at the hospital and explain the situation.
Medical records will take your request (with proper I.D.) for your medical records for a nominal fee.
Show up in person, ask to speak w/a manager.Have your Id (picture)in hand. Or call ahead to the PR office.
First, newly passed laws no longer require records to be kept past 7 years, so there's a very good chance that many of the records you're looking for no longer exist.
Second, due to new HIPPA laws it's illegal to give out these records unless you are the legal guardian, POA, or patient. You would have to go through a request from the medical facility. To request as you have online is not permissable.
I'm not too familiar with Philadelphia hospital records, If they aren't on site then check with the hospital director or medical records department to see how you can obtain copies of your records that has been possibly microfiche or microfilmed. The hospital can copy what you need for maybe a small fee with proper ID and a release form.
Call the hospital and ask for the medical records department. They can tell you the process for obtaining your medical records. Generally they have you sign a release and it take a 4-5 business days for them to copy your records to give to you. It is your legal right to have a copy of your medical record.
