pressure in front of other patients? I see a few doctors in a medical building and they all of which have nurses stations set up to hold 2-3 patients at a time in advance of seeing the doctor in a private room. I don't appreciate having my vitals being discussed in front of other patients. One two different offices I've been asked why I'm visiting the doctor today in front of other patients. Isn't this a HIPAA violation?
I've had a nurse confirm my name, to make sure she has the right chart, take my blood pressure, and then discuss it front of another patient, who clearly did not enjoy being weighed, and having that noted out loud, in front of me. If we are named to each other, why is it not a violation inside their workplace?
Re these people don't know me from Adam, this health clinic is around the corner from my apartment bldg where several other families that I know go. So what it was a neighbor sitting in the room with me while an OBGYN asst asks me the reason for my visit while taking my weight, getting it wrong, then having me correct her?
