ATell them you wont be able to share medical records of anyone else except you due to privacy concerns. Get somewhere in writing that original documents are with the firm, get copies of the originals in case you need it. Leave when you want to, and then send a legal notice claiming the original documents that the company has kept in its custody. If the company goes incommunicado or refuses to return the documents, contact a local lawyer file FIRs initiate cases etc etc
or
my favourite non legal advice-totally discretionary-you take a dump on the managers desk or find a way to get fired on the spot so they have no excuse not to return the documents. Also, finding a replacement for yourself is not your responsibility unless specified so in your job contract. If you have a copy of the same, I suggest you go through it once again.
APeople crib about lawyers fee all the time. You would be surprised how often people dont pay fee on time and the challenges it brings. There are costs to running an office as a doctor you can understand that way better there are clerks juniors and other associates that one must pay regularly there are rent and utilities and I havent even begun about filing and preparatory costs involved with a case. If your case is urgent, it will cost you as I have to reschedule my week to accommodate something urgent and hence the fee. If its not urgent but requires a lot of applications to be drafted there is fees. If there is a senior engaged, we have to brief him too, so theres fees for briefing as well as the fee you pay to a senior counsel. Books and research portals are expensive and so is the time that is being put into the matter. Every case is unique and brings a question of law which takes time and experience to brong forth and argue for which you pay the advocate for his experience and expertise. A senior counsel argues the matter and presents the case to the judge better than any normal advocate would. He has some face value in front of the judge and engages the judge with a force that may get the case dismissed if argued by a junior. Seniors are worth the money they charge, but you are entiled to services of an advocate if a senior is not in your budget. This is no justification of costs, but there are various factors that you must account while billing a case. Even if the senior argued for 10 seconds, as the judge didnt see merit in his case, he still prepared for it. No lawyer will charge you something extra if the hearing took 2-3 hours or even the entire day so essentially thirty seconds or the whole day doesnt matter as it is the discretion of the judge. You are charged for the preparation as we dont control the outcome or the judge which is different than a surgery, where your knowledge expertise and experience keeps you in control. On the contrary, lawyers have little to no control over the matter and its an ever changing situation dependant on the judge the opposition and changing circumstances.
