The answer

If the student knows the diagnosis of the illness from the patient without having asked, there is no sin in writing it down, and it is not considered cheating. However, if they come to know it unintentionally (by hearing it or from colleagues), it is preferable to inform the supervising physician. But if they benefit from it and write it down, there is no sin upon them, by analogy with one who eats or drinks forgetfully while fasting.
