    This may be the other side of the coin but what about physician - patient privilege? Doc cant use your statements against you in a civil /criminal proceeding, so wouldnt a private doc (ie - non corporate) at least be able to give you medical advice without having to write an Rx? Seems both you and the doc would be covered.

    A breach of confidentiality occurs when a patient's private information is disclosed to a third party without his or her consent. There are limited exceptions to this, including disclosures to state health officials and court orders requiring medical records to be produced. -from findlaw.com

    Certain jobs require you give consent to health records.

    Thanks for looking up that info, Obs. CDL holders would certainly need to disclose otherwise protected healthcare information as a matter of public policy, due to the nature of their work. I was wondering for all the non-corporate / private docs, couldn't advice and analysis be given? I bet many would feel much more comfortable on a cycle knowing it wasnt sanctioned by a doctor but rather monitored.
