What is the absolute law on placement of CO monitors in a single-family dwelling? I know they must be within 15 feet of the entrance of a bedroom, but does the statute say they must be anywhere else, such as in the basement, garage, etc., or only there if you want them?

I was seeing a psychiatrist for severe depression and anxiety, who prescribed me Klonopin and Lexapro and agreed to keep me on disability. However, three weeks into my disability, he stopped supporting my claim, refused to provide my clinical notes, and was unprofessional. My new psychiatrist and two other doctors have confirmed that he must provide my records, but he refuses. This situation has worsened my anxiety and may affect my upcoming surgery. I paid him for his services, including filing my disability claim, but he did not comply with Aetna's requirements, leading to potential job loss. What legal actions can I take to prevent him from doing this to others and to address the harm he has caused me?
