If we discover that we can´t trust researchers then what else are we left with? Doctor-patient privacy works if the doctor is truthful in their reporting
It's generally permitted to share de-identified patient data. As long as you're not sharing patients names, medical record numbers, birthdays, and a couple of other fields, you should be fine.
Maybe we could do a double blind (including scientists) study where everyone waived their rights & are recorded then in another "typical" conditions study do none of that and compare the two and see which one seems to have the best, most accurate results.
Or do subjects need to wave all their doctor-patient privacy rights before joining any trial?
