I find serious problems with this. Those X-rays are my information. I
should be able to use them as I see fit. I would especially want them to
potentially get a second opinion. Otherwise, I'll have to pay (since I
doubt insurance would pay for two sets of X-rays) for something which I
should already have at my disposal.

I've changed the subject to more adequately discuss this particular
topic even though it is actually OT for comp.sys.mac.system.

If you are in USA, read up on HIPAA. Your medical information
is your PRIVATE property. YOU decide who has access to it.

Disregard. I forgot it was the cat's information.
HIPAA does not apply. If it did, the cat would have
to give permission for you to have the CD.
