Medical records are a funny thing. Search google for "Hospital X Medical Records" and you can very easily get a fax number by which to request the medical records of a patient, with the only requirement being that you send over a faxed copy of the request for the records including the signature of the patient. And if you put something like "the patient is in the office" on the request you can even get them in a matter of a few minutes.
How fun would it be to send a request over to Henry Ford and say that you've got Joel Zumaya in your office and would like to see the MRI of his shoulder; then take a look to see if the injury was really consistent with a "box falling" or a dirt bike accident (assuming I actually knew something about shoulders, MRIs, or medicine in general).
Shakespeare once said that the guilty "protesteth too much," and Zoom-Zoom's preemptive strike with his vehement denials seemed a bit suspicious when not to many people were questioning the validity of his story.
Obviously this would have serious legal and ethical ramifications, so I would never actually even consider it. But it would be interesting none the less.

Medical Records are something which must be kept very confidential. The most important benefit of obtaining medical records in particular is that this can allow you to receive more appropriate screening if it becomes necessary.
