When and why confidentiality may need to be breached?
Both doctors and lawyers have confidentiality agreements with their clients and patients.Doctors and lawyers can be sued for malpractice if they divulge the secrets they are told.The confidentiality rule does have exceptions however.Doctors and lawyers must keep the secrets they are told. For example, a doctor cannot tell anybody if one of their patients has AIDS. He can, however, tell the police if the AIDS patient threatens to have unprotected sex with others in order to intentionally spread the disease.The same goes for lawyers. A lawyer cannot tell anybody that his client has committed murder. If the client admits that he is planning to murder another person, however, the lawyer is required to tell the authorities to prevent further crimes.Added: You may add to the above -- clergymen (particularly of the Roman Catholic faith) who are also protected from being forced to reveal confidentialities they received via "confession."Reporters, and other members of "The News Media" like to believe that they are protected from revealing confidentialities, however there has never been a successful constitutional challenge won on this premise.Also: if you are bound by an agreement that you signed with another party (perhaps an employer) it would be best to consult an attorney on the matter.
