Unfortunately he works in south carolina alone and is wanting to get the surgery here, or have someone help do daily task at his home in south Carolina. He prefers treatment down here in texas as he can be with family and not alone during his time of need. Is there anything we can do?

In all honesty, you may not be able to secure these records because they are so old. Have you called the physician's office? Regardless of whether the physician is still practicing there, they may have converted the records and have them stored electronically. However, they are so old they... View More
