The '''patient-physician privilege''' protects confidentiality of communications by a patient to a physician under certain circumstances, in certain courts. Its origin can be traced back nearly 2500 years to the [[Oath of Hippocrates:
{{cquote|All that may come to my knowledge in the exercise of my profession [as a physician] … which ought not to be spread abroad, I will keep secret and never reveal.}}
Federal courts, however, do not recognize a general patient-physician privilege. Some limited protection in federal court for communications by a patient to a psychiatrist may be protected.
