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

1.01K viewsOther

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?

Say the reason you’re going to your doctor was because of an infection caused by dirty needles when you injected heroin. You can tell your doctor that because he will not call the cops for drug use.

Now if anytime the doctor believes you are a danger to yourself, others or children he is compelled to report.

But if you cut your hand in a B and E your doctor is under no obligation to report to the police.
