in the us that is only if you give them permission though. your medical files can't be shared without your consent, it is confidential information. if you change doctors and he wants your previous medical records, you have to either get them from your first doctor and give them to the new one or sign a waiver that allows your first doctor to release them to the second. afaik sharing your medical info is at your discretion and anyone who provides it to a 3rd party without your consent (or a court order) is breaking the law.
so if a woman went to dr. smith for an abortion and two months later went to d.r jones, unless she told him, dr. jones would have no knowledge of the first procedure.
