More details to this question:
I went to emergency room for neck and shoulder pain. During the exam they found out there is something else wrong and did not inform me. I only found out because I had to get a copy of the records for another doctor. What was discovered was a life threating condition.

Typically, yes. Since the condition didnt actually manifest, you would probably need to make a complaint to the hospital and to the regulatory board for the doctor who failed to advise you.
