How does the whole “what you say will not leave this room” thing work with doctors?

Sorry I couldn’t word that better, but I don’t know the proper term. My vocabulary is kind of limited and I have trouble putting thoughts into words.

I always see stuff about this rule, but I don’t really understand it. You can’t talk about what’s said during this appointment, but what does that entail? And what are the exceptions to this rule, because I think there are, right?

I just want to add this applies to medical professionals. If someone tells you something about their health, you have no legal obligation to not tell other people, unless they are under your care or you have privileged knowledge about them from your employment, you may be the a$$hole if you do, but they can’t threaten you legally for telling other people.
