If you want a copy to take home you need to fill out HIPPA release forms.

"HIPAA does not prevent patients or their guardians from viewing their own records."

My sister was denied access to her own son's medical records, and he was a minor at the time. When my kids reached puberty, our pediatrician asked me to leave the room when certain questions were being asked of my children. I understand the right to privacy, but there's something wrong when parents are kept from information about their own minor children.
