My privacy rights with relatives' doctors?

Posted by jane d on October 14, 2003, at 3:15:28

I'm wondering if doctors are required to keep confidential information I might give them in relation to a relatives care. For example if I were to tell my father's doctor about my own psychotropic medication experience with the idea that it might help in selecting an appropriate drug for him, would that doctor be required to keep my experience confidential from outside parties? Would he have an obligation to me or just to my father or none at all?

My example is about medication but I think it would apply just as much in any other situation where family genetic information might be useful.

Thanks,
Jane
