To call that outrageous would be an understatement. If it's not too late (and you would have to discuss that with a med mal attorney, if you haven't already filed suit) your old doc could be looking at some serious punitive damages: the sort of thing that his malpractice insurance doesn't cover, but could never be discharged in bankruptcy so long as you took appropriate and timely action upon being notified of the commencement of a case, etc., etc.
