Talk:Physician–patient privilege

message: I would be curious to see opinions on this topic because of the Rush Limbaugh case, in which he his arrest and conviction was based upon evidence obtained from his physician without Mr. Limbaugh's permission. 69.6.162.160 20:24, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

message: From what I can see, this page largely duplicates discussion on Client confidentiality. Given that is a broader term, I think this page should probably be merged into that page. thoughts? Cas Liber 13:52, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, since there are also articles on such things as Attorney client privilege and Accountant-client privilege, maybe the Physician-patient privilege article should stay as a separate article if it is expanded. For example, you could go into the intricacies of how the privilege varies from state to state (more limited in some states than in others). I personally don't have a strong sense about this either way, though. Famspear 01:47, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Gosh, didn't see them - and certainly the Attorney client privilege is sizeable. maybe the Client confidentiality should be really brief and link mainly to the other three. Cas Liber 03:11, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

message: "For example, if a patient tells a physician he or she is feeling better, the defendant the patient may be suing at the time may not ask the doctor if the patient ever expressed the belief that his or her condition had improved."

thread_title:  What? 

message: Is a physician(specifically psychologist) allowed to consult his/her colleagues about a patient or is that against physician/patient confidentiality? Thanks. --Mentaka 20:04, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I beleive that they can legally discuss patients if they refrian from mentioning specific names. For example, in a medical essay, they might say something like "I saw that patient A had a large cyst on his upper neck, and found that injecting 2 ccs of (whatever) reduced its size almost immediately." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pyromancer102 (talk • contribs) 18:35, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Consultations with colleagues 

message: you are all rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic. this article needs a complete rerwrite by someone who is at least a practicing attorney, and preferably an academic. there are umpteen issues it doesn't even touch on; e.g. exceptions to privilege. someone who is m.d.,j.d. would be ideal. without that level of help on an issue like this, you're just spinning your wheels.Toyokuni3 (talk) 03:21, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

message: There is almost no elaboration on what places actually have such information.  Given the lack of information about other places the detailed citation of particular Texas laws seems somewhat bizarre.--70.240.132.219 (talk) 03:50, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

message: Is the article supposed to be limited to Doctor-Patient Confidentiality only when it comes to evidence, and thus, court proceedings?
For example, it doesn't really go in depth about the fact that (hypothetically) my parents or my girlfriend could not go to me doctor and find out specific things about my medical status. Myopia123 (talk) 15:37, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
