I have never broken a confidentiality agreement. I think it is vital for me as an employe as well as my patient's operator to keep any confidential files and conversations. It is necessary and important to protect everyone.

You show high regard for confidentiality, here. Since you mention confidential files, it may be helpful to mention HIPAA, if you live in a region where this act is the law.
