From a healthcare background I find your points to be incredibly rare in practice, and the articles more on point.. which makes sense given the context of the article.

For the most part patients trust their healthcare providers in privacy concerns, even in relatively speaking formerly strained contexts (predominant black patients with white providers).

I ask patients everyday about illegal or embarrassing or “wrong” activities with little resistance to candor.

Tech and social media has engendered a much more toxic attitude that the healthcare industry as a whole has avoided.

I wonder how much of that is due to the strong disincentives to misuse of health data by providers.

I suspect many people are more willing to be honest with health care providers about illegal or embarrassing or “wrong” activities because they know there is legal protection and harsh sanctions (e.g. loss of license, prosecution, requirements for professional education and exams in ethics as part of education/licensing, etc) if the provider breaches that trust. That sort of thing isn't typically present in the tech industry.
