JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A Jacksonville doctor and her lawyer have been trying to figure out how some sensitive medical records wound up out of the doctor's office.

After the medical records of patients of a psychiatrist were mailed to Channel 4 along with a note saying the documents were found in the garbage last week, reporter Jim Piggott has also been investigating how it happened.

The scraps of paper show the conditions, medications and appointments and schedules for some patients of Dr. Angeli Pathak.

The doctor said last week that she did not toss out the records, and she and her attorney claimed they were conducting an investigation on how the incident took place.

"It needs to be looked at very thoroughly and I would like to tell you more but now right we are in the process of doing this investigation," said Pathak.

However, days later, nothing has happened.

Piggott contacted the doctor's attorney again this week and asked if they filed a police report. On Monday, Pathak's attorney said they had not filed a report, but on Tuesday, a different attorney contacted Channel 4 saying he has suggested the doctor calls the authorities.

The attorney said he was hired by the doctor's malpractice insurance company.

There are laws, such as, to protect patients from incident like this one.

"(HIPAA) protects the privacy of those records and promotes patient confidentiality with their physicians and really promotes the ability of the physician to get accurate information to make diagnoses with," said attorney Chad Roberts.

Channel 4 also checked with the Florida Board of Medicine -- the state agency that would look into such cases. Officials there said they have not received any complaints on the or on the doctor.

A spokesman for the board said they will not investigate until there is a complaint filed.
