What makes for a good doctor? It’s not just their ability to diagnose and treat a case‚ or how good their bedside manner is.

topic that I chose to talk about has to deal with medical confidentiality. Medical confidentiality requires doctors to keep a patient’s personal health information private unless consent is provided by the patient.
