Whether you want to believe it or not, it happens on a frequent basis. 
Peter's raindrops postings have quoted many, many articles on these in
the past five years.

"Look at the medical profession.  It is very normal for a retiring
doctor or clinic to "sell" medical records.   Happens all the time. 
Your (and possibly my) medical records and charts now in the hands of
someone who probably wants to sell us something."

Although it is common for physicians/dentists to sell their practice
upon retirement, it is rare that the medical records or the patient
information is sold in the manner you imply.<snip>
