Doctor in spotlight

With the recent revelation of the initial medical notes from PUSRAWI ( the most famous case in Malaysia at the moment) ; it is interesting to know that the doctor in charge is nowhere to be found.I would like to take the opportunity to comment on few issues relating to this.
Ethically it is wrong to reveal such information to the public.All patient-doctor documentation are exclusive and revealing it in the mass media betrays the professionalism conduct. I believe it was beyond PUSRAWIs knowledge ; it must have been one of their admin / clerking staff there who thought it was their right to blow the trumpet.
Nobody knows what was the outcome of Saiful's report in HKL. It was treated as highly top secret and those involved that day were summoned to zip their mouth and not to release any statements. With this revelation , the conspiracy theory believers are more convinced and this adds value to DSAI's side compared to the police and the current government. No matter what HKL's findings will be , this report has swung everybody's opinion.
What would be the next tactic then ?
1) The doctor's credibility questioned .
2) PUSRAWI will deny it as false document.
3) HKL doctors will reveal their findings in a major press conference.

I'd just like to touch on the first step. The doctor's credibility and integrity will be questioned. I did my check in MMC's registry . ( CHeck Mohd Osman Hamid ) . Wow.. it seems that this doctor has been practicing in Malaysia since 1993 ; having his APC ( annual practicing Certificate ) updated. ( He was in UM till 2007 !! ) I thought that this would be the evidence for Tan Sri Ismail Merican to question Dr Osman .However eventhough he is a foreigner ; he followed our rules obediently and is a certified doctor recognized by MMC. His professionalism cannot be questioned at all at this moment ! He may attack him individually but hey.. it'll just be a shot at our own face because he is legally certified by us !But then again , MMC may loose his file and the internet entry may be deleted., MMC buiding in Putrajaya terbakar ke tomorrow... hence no record !! ( true story : i had the experience with my file .. ) So i have saved the data about his APCs today and if it is not available the next time around then hmmm... very fishy.
So what next ? the plot thickens...
