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?

In the US, at least, there is doctor/patient privilege which protects the patient from their medical records and information being used against them in court. It does prevent you from discussing the same thing with other people. It just prevents the doctor from sharing your medical details with others without your permission.
