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
