36. Acupuncturists may communicate information that is protected by professional secrecy in order to prevent an act of violence, including a suicide, where they have reasonable cause to believe that there is an imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury to a person or an identifiable group of persons.
However, acupuncturists may only communicate the information to a person exposed to the danger or that person’s representative, or to the persons who can come to that person’s aid.
They may only communicate such information as is necessary to achieve the purposes for which the information is communicated.
