Medical advice over the phone?

What happens when someone dies, or gets worse? One of the first things you'll want to know is what advice was offered. I would imagine they had to record all, and keep for some preset period.

Oh yeah, I don't think it's weird that it's recorded, but having it delete after X days is so simple I'm shocked it wasn't implemented in a Nordic country w/ strong privacy laws.

On the upside, at least it's probably harder to sift through that data to find embarrassing and/or sensitive information than if it was textual.

(This is one reason that if I'm having a personal issue, I prefer to do a voice call with a friend rather than use IMs like many in my generation are so fond of)
