You are a radiology technician working in the Radiology Department

You are a radiology technician working in the Radiology Department of a large hospital. You are filing x-ray reports at the end of the day and you notice that one of the reports is for your best friend’s mother. The report has some very disturbing findings that could possibly mean a serious illness for the mother. You are faced with a dilemma: Do you tell your friend what you have read or do you keep the information to yourself? Discuss your options in the context of where you work and the rules of confidentiality.
