Confidentiality appears to be both common sense and professional convention, as per the Hippocratic Oath, in the sense that “what [a healthcare professional] may see or hear in the course of treatment or even outside of the treatment in regard to the life of [patients] … [they] will keep to [themselves].” This seems to be an obligation not only of those who are called up to take the oath as a matter of course, but *all* healthcare professionals.
