    Is this covered under HIPAA ?

    They always ask at the doctor's office why you are there, and you have
    to answer in front of others what's wrong and sometimes it is
    embarrassing.

    There's nothing worse than a Doctor's Receptionist who insists you tell
    her what is wrong with you in a room full of other patients.

    Well, here's what happened to me the other day...

    The Receptionist said, "Yes Mr. Baker, what are you seeing the Doctor for
    today?"

    "There's something wrong with my dick", I replied.

    The Receptionist became irritated and said, "You shouldn't come into a
    crowded waiting room and say things like that."

    "Why not? You asked me what was wrong and I told you," I said.

    The Receptionist replied; "Now you've caused some embarrassment in this
    room full of people. You should have said there is something wrong with
    your ear or something, and discussed the problem further with the Doctor in private."

    I replied, "You shouldn't ask people questions in a room full of
    strangers, if the answer could embarrass anyone".

    I walked out, waited several minutes and then re-entered.

    The Receptionist smiled smugly and asked, "Yes??"

    "There's something wrong with my ear", I stated.

    The Receptionist nodded approvingly and smiled, knowing he had taken her advice.

    "And what is wrong with your ear, Sir??"

    "I can't pee out of it," I replied.

    The waiting room erupted in laughter.

    Mess with us seniors and you're gonna lose!

    rbaker,

    Man, I've been waiting for one of these from you for a while after your Taser incident...:p

    Serves the receptionist right for not following HIPPA policy, but sucks you can't pee out of your ear...

    Its 1:10am, I was just about to go to sleep but both my husband and I can't stop laughing.. gotta love the seniors..:cheers:
