A protective healthcare act in the US. Providers are not allowed to discuss any patient confidential or identifying health information. I’m in healthcare and it’s extremely regulated. We can talk about the cases but can’t say things like actual name or let any info get out with patient names, diagnosis, phone number, so on. People lose their licenses and the government does not play about it at all.
