My GP's receptionist did that couple times about me. I don't know why some receptionists think just cause they're not doctors the privacy stuff does not apply to them. I let it go the first time, but second time mentioned it to my GP. Several weeks later that person was not working there anymore. I hope they did not get fired, I just wanted them to know to respect privacy and confidentiality but as my dad had said at the time, maybe others had also complained about this person and that's why they got fired. It made sense, given that she talked about those things sometimes with people in the waiting room (that's how I heard it).
