We can't look at our own medical records??

We can't look at our own medical records?? I had previously asked about getting copies of our medical records. I found out that most doctors charge to cover their clerical costs. I could certainly understand that. SO I went to the doctor's office,pen and notebook in hand. I wanted to do my own research and copy down my weight, diag and meds for the past 12 months. I was told they couldn't allow me to do that. In my innocence, I guess, I thought I would save them the time and energy and do it myself. But apparantly there is a law or policy against that. Any idea if there is a way around this so that I can view my own records. It's information about me, isn't it?
