And you would be CORRECT! Except it isn't in the near future, for some of us, it has been that way for MANY YEARS. A lot of the applications I fill out contain a "release" form. The name of the employer goes on it as who GETS to request the info and the portion that names which doctor is left BLANK. That way they can put the name of any of my doctors in there and pull whatever records he has on me. I've signed countless copies of these things.
