Radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh filed a court petition today seeking to keep his medical records private:
The conservative radio host cannot be treated for his medical conditions because the state seized his charts and files last month and intimidated his doctors, the court petition said.
"No citizen would want these highly personal details to be held by minions of the state to finger through at their leisure. Nor would any sane person wish his medical diagnosis and medical prescriptions to be widely published on television shows, tabloid newspapers, Web sites and the like," the petition says.
Limbaugh's attorney, Roy Black, has accused the State Attorney's Office of having political motives for its investigation.
Mr. Limbaugh is being investigated for illegally purchasing prescription pain medication and possibly for money laundering.
