[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sibley Drs, nurses, staff are gossips.  It is not uncommon to hear Drs trash patients or their colleagues.  Major unprofessional culture.[/quote]

Oh, I can back this one up. It's part of why I avoided specific pediatricians when my kids needed one. Lots of gossip about the kids and their parents.[/quote]

Yes. A relative works there and is a total busybody. Talks to me about work people and I don't even know who they are![/quote]

That would be HIPAA violation[/quote]

Not exactly. In my case I'm referring to talking about non-patients. Seems the environment there tends toward a more chatty work culture. [/quote]

[b]Between medical "professionals", HIPAA is a joke.[/b][/quote]

Accurate.

They may not name them when talking about them, but it'll be "the holidays weren't kind of the patient in 7.  She's up 12 lbs."  "Someone else is going to have to do the blood draw on the patient in 3 because I can't stand her grandma perfume."

I have a good friend who is a therapist and she has the best stories.  She doesn't name her patients to me (crazy mom, OCD cat dude, etc.) or our other friends to protect them, but she definitely spills the beans.  OCD cat dude is a highly entertaining almost soap opera like tale.    [/quote]

I have a friend who is a Genetics Counselor at a major, well-known high risk OB-GYN practice in the area, and she has told me all of the HORRIBLE things one of the doctor's has said about his patients to his staff.  Stuff like he can't believe anyone would ever sleep with this person because they are so overweight, etc.  I would NEVER, EVER go to this practice as a result.[/quote]

I have a weird feeling I know who this person is. [/quote]
