Holdings:

The Massachusetts Court made the following holding:

  • The hospital records statute, Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 233, § 79, permits the admission of blood test results for the purpose of showing that a criminal defendant had consumed intoxicating liquor shortly before events leading to a charge of operating under the influence. The confidentiality of records provided by Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 111, § 70E(b) applies only to the extent provided by law. Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 111, § 70E(b) does not provide an unqualified right to privacy in blood alcohol test results. Nor does the right to privacy statute, Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 214, § 1B, prohibit admission of lawfully administered blood test results in criminal prosecutions under Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 90, § 24 for driving while intoxicated.
  • Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 263, § 5A provides a person charged with operating a motor vehicle under the influence with the right to be examined by a physician of his choice. It also requires police officials to inform him of his right immediately upon being booked. The police do not have an obligation to assist a defendant in obtaining a medical examination; however, they may not prevent or hinder the defendant's reasonable and timely attempt to obtain such an examination.
