Of course your records are around.
Unless you were hatched in remote Appalachia or before 1902, AND if you born in an operating hospital ( such as Obama “was”) there are records.
On what do you base this assertion? Has anybody checked?
I know the birth certificate is kept, because that’s a state requirement, but admission records being kept for 50 years?
Here’s a link to legal requirements for a variety of southeastern states. Requirements vary from 6 to 20 years. None come even close to 50.
You may have misunderstood my original question. Do we have any evidence that admission records are available for anybody else from those hospitals during that time period? The claim is that Obama’s records being unavailable is suspicious. My question is whether any records are available. Burden of proof is on those claim suspiciousness.
You sound less than familiar with hospital procedure and medical records laws. How long hospitals are required to retain records is set by state law, and varies from state to state. There is also a federal requirement for those covered by HIPAA, which mandates retaining records for six years. Hawaii law says
Hawaiian health care providers (such as medical doctors, surgeons, podiatrists and hospitals) generally must keep your whole medical record for at least seven years after the last time they entered information in your record. Health care providers must keep minors’ medical records at least until the minor turns 25.So, depending on the state, and how old Sherman Logan is, those records may have been long since shredded.
