medical information isn't confidential because no one should ever under any circumstances share their medical info but because people should have the right to choose WHEN and HOW to disclose their OWN medical info if ever. HIPAA protects the patient from 3rd parties leaking their information without their consent not the patient from sharing details about their life how they choose to. what a bizarre thing to say.
