COLUMBUS, Ohio—Dozens of medical records were stolen from a doctor's car.

Parents questioned why the records were taken from the hospital in the

NBC 4's Lauren Diedrich GOT ANSWERS.

Diedrich went to Nationwide Children's Hospital to find out how the
incident happened, and the hospital said it was working to figure out

Children's Hospital.

The letter said one of the hospital's doctor's vehicle was broken into
