I seriously doubt that a medical licensing review board

Unless the information were publicized, the review board simply wouldn't care. They're worried about the spirit of the law -- that is, whether patients are being publicly embarrassed -- rather than about the letter of the law -- that is, whether doctors are taking every secret to the grave. I've never in my life read about a doctor being punished for sharing confidential information with a spouse, even though it happens around ten thousand dinner tables every night. (And by the way, sharing the info minus the names is just as much against the ethics rules.)
