I need to know ASAP!!!
My friend is going to the doctor tomorrow and she has pot in her system. If she tells her doctor not to tell her guardian, does he have to tell her guardians? Isn't there a patient doctor confidentiality?

your concern about the guardian
Curious: Call the office and see if the hipa laws apply in your case.

If you are able to make an informed decision and your guardian has not signed any consents of legal forms for you. I would think not. Just be up front and honest with you physician. You can request the guardian not be present at the visit. See how that goes. All you can do is ask.
