In my line of work, we use the term "doctor-patient confidentiality" all the time, but I'm looking for a more relaxed way to express the same idea in a casual conversation with my colleagues, for instance.
I said the following the other day, but I'm not sure it worked as well as I'd hoped:
Ça, j’en discuterai avec elle. Dans les limites du secret médical, en tout cas. Tu n'y verras pas d’inconvénient ?
Any other suggestions?
People working in a medical field may have other terms. As a profane, the only term that comes to my mind is secret médical.
