I have previously written on the issue of patients recording conversations with paramedics and other health practitioners – see Patient recording of paramedic interaction (March 28, 2019).  Those interested in this issue may be interested in an article that appeared in today’s edition of The Conversation:

Megan Prictor and Amelia Hyatt, ‘Many Australians are recording their visits to the doctor – some without permission’, The Conversation, December 12, 2024 <https://theconversation.com/many-australians-are-recording-their-visits-to-the-doctor-some-without-permission-244637>.
