Patient felt that the doctor did not maintain discretion whilst divulging their personal and immunological information when being admitted into ED, post-fall. The patient noted that the doctor was loudly repeating immunological status, when the patient was quietly communicating with the doctor- in an attempt to prompt the doctor to communicate quietly in return; as the patient was wary about family members being in the ED at the same time (these family members do not know of the patient's immunological status). The patient is now very concerned about how the patient's family will react toward self, if they had overheard immunological status during the patient's consultation/admission in ED.
