I am a phlebotomist at a hospital. My co-worker was scheduled to work that evening. I was on the neurological floor to draw another patient when an employee mentioned that my co-worker was in the hospital. I saw her in her room and spoke with her briefly. Later, I informed my supervisor that she wouldn't be in due to being hospitalized. Now, I am being questioned about how I knew she was in the hospital and if I might be in violation of HIPAA. Could I get fired for this, and should I retain an attorney to protect myself?
