You don't lie to your own doctor. You don't lie to your own attorney, and you don't lie to your employees.

Compassionate doctors sometimes lie to patients about the severity of their condition, and it is not always wrong to do so.
But I think doctors have always been either honest or dishonest.
Well, the truth is that a lot of people lie about their health, they lie about the finances, they lie about things at work, they lie about things.
Deceive not thy physician, confessor, nor lawyer.
I have many times thought I did the wrong thing, but the reason was not to be a medical doctor - it was just to have the information. But then, maybe I was wrong, I don't know.
If 98 out of 100 doctors tell me I've got a problem, I should take their advice. And if those two other doctors get paid by Big Snack Food, like certain climate deniers get paid by Big Coal, I shouldn't take their advice.
You don't necessarily want your physician to have all your information.
I do myself a greater injury in lying than I do him of whom I tell a lie.
We have a way of dealing with information that has sort of personal - personally identifying information in it. But there are legitimate secrets - you know, your records with your doctor; that's a legitimate secret. But we deal with whistleblowers that are coming forward that are really sort of well motivated.
My job as a physician is to make sure I have provided my patients with the best options to make the decisions that affect their lives.
