Rule 2-62. Waiver of Doctor-Patient Privilege upon Application for Reinstatement

The filing of an application for reinstatement by an attorney on inactive status shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any doctor-patient privilege existing between the attorney and any psychiatrist, psychologist, physician or hospital who or which has examined or treated the attorney during the period of disability. The attorney shall be required to disclose the name of every psychiatrist, psychologist, physician and hospital by whom or at which the attorney has been examined or treated since being placed on inactive status and shall furnish to the court written consent to each to divulge such information and records as are requested by court-appointed medical experts or by the clerk of the court.
