65. Chiropractors must allow their patient to take cognizance of the documents which concern him or her in any record constituted on his or her behalf and to obtain a copy of such documents.

If the disclosure of the documents to their patient would likely reveal personal information concerning a third person or the existence of such information, and the disclosure could seriously harm that third person, chiropractors must obtain the latter’s authorization before communicating the information to their patient except in the case of an emergency that threatens the life, health or safety of the patient concerned.
