Ah, but one of the major reasons that the AMA is unwilling to allow a change in the concept that your medical records are the property of the doctor is that it makes it more difficult to troll the records for discrepencies to hinge malpractice suits on. Which given that diagnosis can be a bit of an art form, is easy enough to do.
Americans have it even worse. Under the American legal model, even if the doctor undertakes best practice at the time of the incident, if that "best practice" is later proven to be incorrect or counter-indicated by later results, then they can be still sued over the matter. That's not the case here.
medical malpractice can be very interesting, especially when looking at the sociological aspects. Getting expert witnesses in Australia can be extremely difficult unless the practioner has been extremely incompetent.
