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?

That is the concept of patient confidentiality. You’re supposed to trust doctors with private things about your life and health, things that if leaked could be used against you or be in some way prejudicial to you. Basically, doctors have to guarantee your privacy and protection and aren’t allowed to divulge information learned through the practice of their profession unless it’s a legally permitted thing.
The exceptions change from place to place, also might be some more generic, like needing a court order to break the confidentiality.
