Dinah,I was really too young to know who was involved in arranging for his records to be kept in our garage for seven years but obviously someone who knew the laws back at that time.
As a kid I just remember them against one whole wall of the garage covered up with sheets over them.
I don't know if existing laws are in the books to cover this very kind of thing (deceased doctor and what to do with his/her files).
Food for thought.
