Brad files FOIA request to see if old friend and current UM Vice-Chair of Psychiatry Lisa Seyfried has a file on Brad

Brad has known Lisa for 35 years as Lisa was engaged to Brad's best friend at UM undergrad.  Our families spent a lot of time together social in Ann Arbor after we returned to Hopkins and Brad would go to football games and basketball games with Lisa's husband Michael Faulkner (anesthesiologist at UM).  As Vice-Chair of Psychiatry, Lisa did not object to Ella Kazerooni and Lisa's employee Dr. Kirk Brower to conduct two psychiatric evaluations of Brad while he was on disability which is a violation of the ADA, and not to given Brad access to the medical record documentation, a violation of HIPAA.
