I was going to pipe in and say the same thing. I'm a few provinces east of you.

I've heard the same thing about hearing aid prescriptions, CT (and similar) scans, and blood test results. In Canada they'll happily give you the results for your own records, but apparently some other countries don't provide it as a general right, leaving businesses to decide whether they want their competitors to be able to pick up work they initiated.

I think the difference is whether medical is private or public.
