My state, Arizona, is a "one-party recording" state. I don't need to notify or inform anyone else that I am recording, because I am the one party.

I have interacted over the phone with two major clinic systems who have busied out my line and hung up on me, just because I activated Call Recording on my Pixel.

You try it. Telephone your clinic/hospital and activate Call Recording, and see if they will still even stay on the line with you. Notify the human who answers, and see what happens.

This was not merely a human decision; it was the clinics' automated system countermeasures vs. recording a simple, normal phone call.

I was also reprimanded for recording at my psychiatrist's clinic. Then they posted signs that said that all recording, photos and videos are strictly prohibited.

When I asked at an independent Urgent Care facility, the front desk flatly refused. She insisted it was a HIPAA violation. It is not.
