Abstract
Recording doctors by the patients may be recognised as a violation of the recordee's personal interests which may result in a financial compensation liability. Also publishing and distributing such recordings without the doctor's knowledge and consent is a violation of the law. At the same time rerecording the conversations that the recorder does not participate in and is not authorised to obtain information from is a crime. The above does not apply when it is the patient who is recording his/her own medical consultation. If the recording takes place with the doctor's knowledge and consent then such recording can be admitted as evidence in legal proceedings. However if the patient records the consultation without the attending medical personnel's knowledge and consent, courts weigh the value of such materials as evidence differently. Such recordings may be admitted as evidence in trial.
