physician–client privilege

Read a random definition: choice-of-evils defense

A quick definition of physician–client privilege:

Physician-client privilege is a special legal right that protects the confidentiality of communications between a patient and their doctor. This means that a doctor cannot disclose any information that a patient shares with them during diagnosis or treatment, unless the patient consents to the disclosure. The purpose of this privilege is to encourage patients to be open and honest with their doctors, so that they can receive the best possible care.

A more thorough explanation:

Physician-Client Privilege is a legal right that allows a patient to keep confidential any communication made to a physician for the purpose of diagnosis or treatment. This means that a doctor cannot disclose any information about a patient's health without their consent, even in a legal proceeding.

For example, if a patient tells their doctor about a sensitive medical condition, such as a mental health issue, the doctor cannot share that information with anyone else without the patient's permission. This privilege is important because it allows patients to be honest with their doctors without fear of their personal information being shared.

However, there are some exceptions to this privilege. For instance, if a patient is a danger to themselves or others, a doctor may be required to disclose information to protect them. Additionally, if a patient sues their doctor for medical malpractice, the doctor may be required to disclose information relevant to the case.

Overall, physician-client privilege is an important legal right that allows patients to trust their doctors and receive the best possible medical care.

There’s someone I found on here with the username threeoutchange and if my understanding is correct that’s a reference to the debut album by a pretty cool 90s-00s Japanese band called Supercar. I geeked a little
