HIPPA is tricky. It does allow the non-authorized disclosure of protected health information if necessary to lessen/prevent a serious threat to oneself or others. Your doctor already knows about your prior history. Would it not be easier to see "someone" that already knows versus starting all over with someone new? Take care.
