I don't know that I would say your father's doc has any obligation to you to keep your information private, as he is not your treating physician. However, I'm not sure what purpose his sharing such info would serve, so I would imagine the information would stay with him. However, he, of course, would have an obligation to your father. I guess what I'm thinking of is that he could share such info with your father (if necessary), as your father is the patient and you are not, but wouldn't share it with outside parties.
That would be my guess.
