Question:

Sorry but you will probally need to get a new PCP unless your dr is going
to see patients else where I would get a letter stating that you were a
patient and have been seeing her for approximent time but do to the fire
all exact information is gone. GET THAT NOTE.

I know from working in Medical Records that they should be kept in fire
proof file cabinets. Hopefully they've been practicing this. Good luck.
