a) The repositories were likely not the primary repositories
intended for immediate clinical care ?
in which case the deadlines don't apply
b) had you suspected that a withdrawing patient intends to sue
the health information exchange network you would likely have

But, yeah, physical deletion certainly seems necessary even
