Are you kidding me?? I guess you guys don't have HIPAA laws. I mean here, you can get put in prison for that kind of behavior. (medical professionals discussing patients in an identifiable way.) I work in health care, at a hospital, and we have to be uber careful about even mentioning a patient's case with only gender and age! I'm in a specific department, and even with only that someone else could figure out what patient I was talking about. I'm just floored that nurses can discuss patients at a hair salon!
