regarding a patient's treatment may be justified in certain circumstances. The following options
are relevant:

 a. The patient's written consent: Disclosure is allowed with the patient's informed,
written consent.

 c. A court order: Disclosure may be mandated by a court order.

 b. A statutory provision requiring disclosure
 c. A court order
 e. A serious threat to public health.
