How come Nurses are not bound by the same rule as a lawyer is to a defendant or a wife to a husband or a priest? If someone says something on their death bed why are we suppose to report?

I mean I can tell my lawyer if I committed a crime and it's attorney client privilege. I can tell my wife or husband and we are protected not to squeal on each other. Same thing about telling a priest it is privileged information. How come a nurse or doctor is required to report it. I mean non of the above are life and death but a confession from a patient should be privileged in my opinion why is it not? Like if a person says they use meth or whatever, we really don't report it. But if he get's in a wreck and only causes himself or herself injury why are we to report it to the police does not HIPPA cover this?

Can we use offensive language like slurs against race and sex and the disabled? Because I thought it would be fun on c/askhistorians to do a couple questions on where and why the words exist?

Basically like asking Where did the N word become synonomis with black people and so forth? Or the R word to disabled people? I just wondering is it in the context of the sub and question without being hurtful or offending the majority can we use said words in a relative knowledge based approach to gain clarity on controversial subjects?
