Wtf, that's literally illegal over here.

Not only could someone be listening to the phone call (like an abusive partner) and not only could someone else have picked up entirely (which the person/machine calling cannot verify) but people are significantly more likely to commit suicide upon hearing a (seemingly) terrible diagnosis without further information via phone than in person from their doctor.

It was an online instant message, not a phone message. That would be illegal where I live, too.
