[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good point, PP. In an emergency, how is the parent going to be able to give an accurate medical history? [/quote]

You can always talk to the doctor, but they can not talk to you (without permission).  I know this, because I recently had to deal with my fathers abuse of narcotics.

As for why, there are legit medical reasons for the privacy -- and since the records cover everything, they can not allow it.  You can talk to the Doctors about what is going.  But they kid has a right to privacy in certain areas, mostly dealing with sexuality.

The problem is you can not control when your kid has sex.  But, the doctors sort of need to know that.  If your kid gets an STD, you want them to get treatment -- period.  If your god gets pregnant, you want proper prenatal care (assuming no abortion).  Some kids will not talk to the parents about sex issues.

My GF in high school was from an extremely religiously conservative family -- no premarital sex, etc.  She would have been grounded for life if her parents found out.  And I may have been shot.  But, guess what?  it did not stop us.  When my mom figured out that things might be serious (we would go for long walks in the woods...), she just left condoms in my room (I assume it was my mom).
