Clinic sues its former doctor for accessing patient records

The case now before the Supreme Court of Victoria raises the question of who owns patient records

A clinic part-owned by Tristar baron Dr Khaled El-Sheikh has taken one of its former doctors to court for accessing records and allegedly cold-calling its patients to promote his new practice.

Dr Nima Rudd left Australian Cardiology Services in the Victorian town of Mildura and set up his own clinic last month.
