Some countries recognize that medicine is a risky activity and hence you do it at your own risk, a bit like bunjy-jumping, and unless there is a really gross practitioner misconduct, you just cannot frivoulously sue the practitioner and any compensation cap is highly regulated.

Problem is, as outlined, that the practitioners professional life might depend on integrity and availability of records, e.g. in a litigation case. If you take the control over the record from the practitioner, you might take the practitioner out of the equation completely - "patient heal thyselfe ..." In a non-fault-based non-litigationous environment I'd fuilly agree with your sentiment, but here in Oz I have to think self defense first
