Confidentially speaking

SAN DIEGO — Harvard Law Professor Arthur Miller tells physicians at a recent American Medical Association (AMA) meeting that privacy is one of the great concerns in the United States today. He said that media, which sometimes invades privacy to bring the public a major medical breakthrough, must be checked and held accountable. However, Miller warned, these checks should not be strong enough to injure the media's rights or the public's right to know. Miller made his remarks last month before pediatricians and other health professionals at the AMA Health Reporting Conference.
