I guess it is one of the many steps down the path to the end as spoken about in the bible.

I can understand the privacy concerns, but I think it may be a good thing. Obviously, as you can tell from my username, I'm a nurse, and the number of noncompliant diabetics we see is unreal. For most people, diabetes can be very well controlled but patients have to be very disciplined.

Then again, if a diabetic is so noncompliant as to warrant a phone call from their doctor, I don't think a phone call would make that much of a difference. I like the idea but I think the privacy end will prevail in this case.
