Answer to Question 1

False: A court order for medical records requires mandatory release of patient information.

Answer to Question 2

Seeing such a note may predispose the manager to assume the patient will be difficult or hard to satisfy. This predisposition may alter the way the manager approaches the call, and may actually prejudice the manager against the patient.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
