Yes, because you can not make one exception otherwise it will be used all the time to circumvent patient doctor privilege. The old saying, "give them an inch and they take a mile" is exactly this case.

Of course you can make one exception. That's why it's called an exception. The law is chock-full of exceptions, often carefully written to delineate their scope.
