WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Rush Limbaugh asked the Florida Supreme Court (news - web sites) on Thursday to return his medical records to his doctors and permanently keep them from prosecutors investigating his use of painkillers.
The conservative radio commentator alleges that his privacy was violated when the records were seized in 2003 and has fought to keep them sealed. Lower courts have sided with prosecutors, who are investigating whether Limbaugh illegally visited several doctors to receive duplicate prescriptions.
Limbaugh wants the state Supreme Court to decide that patients should be notified before their medical records are seized or inspected.
