Support the OpenNotes movement. Patients have a legal right to view their records (with some limited exceptions). But it needs to be easy and happen by default rather than as a special request.

Forget "view". I want to own my records. It's my personal data that I've enlisted a professional to gather on my behalf.

I presume they want to have control over who can access the file.
