Prant:

The problem lies in federal statute regarding release of personal medical information.

If Prant had a brain tumor and a doctor mistakenly diagnosed it as a headache, Prant would want people with possible brain tumors to get the best possible care. Prant would have the right to disclose any information regarding his condition he so desired. Another individual who had knowledge of the condition in a professional capacity (coach), has a duty not to disclose that information.

The condition is inclusive of the diagnosis and the individual who performed the diagnosis.
