I had a medical issue and went to the doctor a couple of times a week for about a month. One day, a woman named Robin, who is a friend of my boss Lisa, mentioned that they had been discussing my condition. My boss acknowledged this and said they had broken HIPAA laws. I was appalled that my personal medical treatment was being discussed with a stranger and my boss. What kind of law protects me and my personal medical information, and what can I do about this violation?

I have a friend whose husband died of a staph infection while undergoing terminal cancer treatment at St Luke's Hospital in Idaho. The doctors allegedly ignored the infection in his final days. I'm trying to find information on state and federal policies regarding malpractice to guide her on possible legal actions. She is struggling to accept his death and move forward with her grief.

My wife works at a restaurant where one day she had to take our daughter to the emergency doctor. She called her manager to inform them she couldn't come to work due to an emergency. The manager said it was okay, but when she arrived the next day, the owner told her she would be losing an hour of work and implied she might be fired. Now, the owner is making her very uncomfortable. What should we do? Is she being harassed?
