They are refusing (it seems) to give her her own records. They could quite easily give her her own and where it overlaps with someone else's rights, then stop there and wait for the courts to handle it.
It's not like they have to give out the identify of the person they believe had the infection she acquired in order to tell her definitively that someone else in the hospital had the infection on or near the day she was there.
