A doctor is doing his rounds in the hospital. He has an intern with him. After seeing a particularly interesting case, they stop to eat in the hospital cafeteria. The intern asks the doctor a question about the patient they just saw. The doctor responds with a lengthy explanation, including details of the patient’s medical history, as they are standing in line to buy food. Did the doctor and the intern violate HIPAA? Why or why not?
