Rhode Island Doc Leaves US; Patients Can't Get Medical Files | Fox News

The medical records of an estimated 33,000 patients of a Rhode Island
physician cannot be accessed because the doctor abandoned his practice and
left the country to run for political office in
Nigeria<http://www.foxnews.com/topics/nigeria.htm#r_src=ramp>,
state health officials say.

The Rhode Island Department of Health says that "tens of thousands" of
medical records and pathology slides from the practice of Dr. Nomate Kpea,
a dermatologist, are in an office building in the town of Foster that has
been foreclosed upon. Another office of Kpea's containing medical records
has also been foreclosed upon, in Cumberland, about 30 miles away.
