⟩ Tell me about a specific time when you had to handle a tough problem which challenged fairness or ethical issues?

Often times disclosure of confidential information. I am very aware of HIPPA policy and patient doctor confidentiality. My parents have always taught me that information that is shared with you, is an honor and is to be treated as sacred. This rule, I always apply. However there was an instance where I had to report one of my peers I was mentoring becaus she displayed suicidal symptoms in her idioms and language. It was difficult for me to break the confidentiality but ethically I did the responsible thing and could have very well saved her life.
