I believe the fine for disclosing information is $10,000 per incident.

They disclosed their opinion that she is a crazy psycho. And they only disclosed it to her!

I don't think that's really against the law.

"They disclosed their opinion that she is a crazy psycho. And they only disclosed it to her! I don't think that's really against the law."

They are not qualified to "disclose" opinions that she's crazy. And they did it to more people than her (do you really believe the "pharmacy workers"--counter people--didn't whisper it to the other workers in the store? As for it being against the law...who knows, we'd have to review this state's laws. But it probably is. I mean, does it seem fair that anyone connected to any part of a medical enterprise should be able to in effect make your condition or treatment public without penalty?

And now all the pharmacists may leave the room: Pharmacists take pills out of big bottles and put them into little bottles. They work software (doesn't everybody do that these days?) so your new scrip doesn't conflict with your old one and rupture your eyeball. They wear white coats. They get to stand about 18-22 inches above you, on that riser behind the counter, so they can look down on you. They go to pharmacy school but so could you or I. They get paid very well. They don't COMPOUND medicines, they don't create anything. The job has its stress, and sometimes long hours, but it's usually guaranteed high-paid, well-benefitted work that most people respect.

So pharmacists should show more respect for their profession and never let this unprofessional behavior happen again. Not looking the other way, not firing someone when they should be fired...when somebody does something disrespectful or insulting to a patient who has come to you for part of his treatment... you've broken a trust none of us should ever have think about as being anything other than inviolable.
