WTF ?

What the heck do they think they are going to do with those
screenshots ?  What if you don't even *have* screenshots
because all you want is archive HL7 for later use ??

What sort of authority do they have (or think they are
exercising, short of Law of the Jungle) ?

What if you provide screenshots of Word documents showing the
HL7 data ?

They will refuse to provide YOUR (or rather your patient's)
data unless you submit to their terms ?

What if the patient requests such ?

(I am not talking about potential compensation for providing
data in a requested format.)
