After four surgeries back in 2010 and 2011, I still cannot see out of my right eye. I have since retired and moved up North. This year I requested copies of my records from their office. I was sent a form to complete for obtaining the files. After I submitted the form, I was told they no longer have the records, and that the paper documents were destroyed and never scanned in for future reference. Anyone see a problem with this?
