if i tell a doctor something and i dont want them to tell my parent's. do they have to tell my parent's or if i say i want it kept confidential will they keep it confidential?Advice about doctors?
They have to keep it a secret unless you are in some kind of danger (physical like being beaten, not medical). If they had to tell someone it would be social services not your parents.Advice about doctors?
There is doctor patient confidentiality they HAVE To keep what you say between you.
the only time a doctor will ever have to tell the parents or involve anyone is in an abuse case/rape.
Yes there are privacy acts to protect you and your rights as a patient. But my question would be how old are you ?
