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?

The rule is for the medical personnel, not for you. You can talk about your doctor visits in full detail. Your doctor cannot go out and tell people about what you spoke about. Well, they can, but they can only say “a patient of mine”, not your name or other identifying information.
