Try counseling an older gentleman who is very hard of hearing with prostate problems in a small clinic, five exam rooms full, all with very thin walls. Everyone around us now knows his medical history in excruciating detail. In my world, (SC) everybody says not a word to anyone else. Hard to worry about HIPPA under circumstances like that. Gotta play the cards your dealt, be an advocate for your patient.
