Going back to the original post.

This person may not have broken any confidentiality rules.


But just consider..
If she was local. (which she isn't)

Then consider the fact that she may be a receptionist at your surgery.

Then consider she is talking about another issue.

The issue she is talking about is quite obviously about you, or one of your family....

How would you feel then???

Seem to remember there was a similar issue in the local papers recently.
