        Confidentiality vs harm to another
        
        
        
        
            Abstract:
             Dr. Bawaskar’s sensitivity in this matter deserves applause (1).
The principle of confidentiality dictates that what is discussed by doctor and patient remains between them and should not be divulged to anyone else without the patient’s express consent.
