Doctor-patient privilege does not apply to anyone who is underage!.

They would HAVE TO tell your parents!.

They wouldn't call the police, but it would be on record at the hospital if the police ever went digging!.

Chest pains = get your *** to the doctor NOW!. Your life is more important than getting yelled at!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't think you should wait any longer to go to ER!. You will probably have to wait a while anyway, and if the pains subside you can always leave!. If they get worse, you are right there where they can help you!. Just go! They don't have to tell unless you ask them to!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

there is a dr patient confidentiality agreement!.!.!.
they can't discuss what you tell them with anybody else!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
