A 27-year-old office manager with a history of generalized anxiety has had multiple recent visits to the physician for a several month history of fatigue. Evaluation thus far has revealed a normal physical examination as well as screening laboratories that are within normal limits. The serum thyroid- stimulating hormone level is 2.3 ľU/mL. Inquiring about specific symptoms of depression on the last visit yielded the diagnosis of depression, and treatment options were discussed with her. On this visit she expresses frustration that a medical etiology of her fatigue has not been identified and she demands to see the clinic notes from her last several visits. Which of the following would be the most appropriate response the physician could make?
A. Agree to show her the records only after she undergoes treatment for her depression
B. Attempt to arrange to review her clinic records with her as soon as possible
C. Discuss her case with a lawyer prior to showing her the records
D. tell her that the doctors clinical notes are not usually shown to a patient and that the prescription she has is good enough as it also has the diagnosis and the treatment she is undergoing.
E. Immediately make copies of her medical record for her to review at her convenience
