Default med report not given?

hi all there,
My sis underwent a myomectomy recently. they injected her with something to restrict the bleeding at the site. but between one of the injections, the surgical aide poked herself with the needle, but did not inform the surgeon and continued to use the same needle to administer the injections.
after the surgery, there was a bruise on her hand where they had drawn blood. doctor said they were doing tests on both parties for things like AIDS and hepatitis.
when we requested some kind of paperwork or documentation, the doctor hemmed and hawed about confidentiality and we have still recieved no documentation of any kind from the doctor or the hospital.
How do we get the report(s)? please help.

it looks as if they are prohibited from providing you with information about that person's medical condition. consult with a lawyer in your state to see if you have any available options, which would not violate HIPAA or other medical privacy laws.
