The place I work has HIPPA protections because we have pharmacies in
some of our stores. As usual, they take things to the extreme. If
somebody is out sick, you cannot tell anybody they are sick, they get
written on the board as Out of Building. Ditto for doctors
appointments. To me, there is a big difference between saying "Joe is
sick today" and "Joe has to get his syphllis treated at 10:00".
