COVINGTON, Judge,
concurring in result.
I concur in the majority’s holding that the petition does not allege that the physicians in this case communicated any confidential information unrelated to the medical issues in the case. For this reason, the petition did not state a cause of action for breach of the physicians’ fiduciary duty of confidentiality. For the reasons expressed m my separate concurring opinion in Brandt v. Pelican, 856 S.W.2d 658 (Mo. banc 1993), however, I am unable completely to concur in the majority opinion.
