Administrator for a group home asks a physician for access to a teenager’s medical records

A youth with a delinquency offense is referred from the local juvenile court to a group home for adolescents. The administrator of the group home sees in the youth’s records that she had tested positive for tuberculosis when she was taken into custody. At that point, she was given a chest x-ray, which the youth says was clear.
