It will only save its content if an actual person from the
database has been selected within it.

It is :-)    (also note the tooltip)

It does.

Oh, you need to press <enter> after typing something. It
works just like the patient search control in the top panel.

Oh, but GNUmed (as "inside the GUI") does not *have* person
deletion ?

Oh, that can't happen or else it wouldn't *be* referential
integrity. That's exactly what the database is for.

        dem.identity.fk_emergency_contact

is a foreign key to

        dem.identity.pk

with

        ON UPDATE CASCADE
        ON DELETE RESTRICT

;-)

The tooltip of that could be worded more concisely, I
suppose. It serves as a free-text area for "other" emergency
contact information. After all, the last thing one needs
when capturing emergency contact details is artificial
constraints. Hence enter anything you'd like here and it'll
be presented to you in certain places (such as the patient
search control tooltip ;-)  where GNUmed deems it
appropriate.
