Nasty Ex-Coworker Still Spilling The Beans About My Wls!!!

For those who read my post a few months ago about the Medical office manager telling the whole office (Right in front of me) that everybody "Knows you had Gastric bypas surgery" ....No I did not!

 

 

To get caught up you may go to my profile and read about it there in my blog.....but anyway I never worked for this particular Doctor. I work for a very large well known lab, and i was just in her office to service her patients. Well after the above event took place, I asked to be moved to another location, and I was moved the next day or so.......

 

Well, in my line of work we have what you call "flaoters" which means when someone is out on vacation or call in sick these "floaters" go and fill in at that location. Well after I left, my company sent a floater to my old spot until they could find a permanent replacement.

 

 

Well rightr after i left i came across one of the "floaters" that i dont even know that filled in over where I use to be, and guess what.......She found out about my WLS from the big mouth office manager..When I found out I was mad, but I said thats ok Im not there anymore who cares ......

 

Well YESTERDAY...I came across a diffrent floater that I dont know and never met. Now this time it came about because when I saw her I introduced myself which meant I gave her my name, and then she said "Do I know you"? I said no I dont think so. She said where did you use to work and I gave her the name of the doctor's office where I came from ....and she said "OH" and I said what do you mean "OH" ...and as politely as she could, she began to tell me that when she was at that location covering, the office manger began telling her about my "PROCEDURE" :angry:

 

Thats when I called Human Resources, the account representative for that location and my supervisor. Enough was enough! I hope she gets fired !!!!! All my company told me was that the would give her a "Firm" talking to. And who am I kidding I dont really have the money to do anything legal. But this is ridiculous she has to be stopped. And at this point if she finally does shut her trap she has already told 2 diffrent floaters that cover multiple large areas for my company and there is no telling how many people these people have told! :angry:

Wow! I mean I've heard the saying " Heard it through the grape vine." but really. I know your highly peeved and feeling violated. What would give her the authority to spread the word of your personal weight loss decisons? I say just leave well enough alone and pray for peace in her life apparently theres some jealously there. Good Luck Sweety!

That woman seriously needs to get a life and a new job, obviously she has nothing better to do than gossip about someone else's business.

I would be livid. How did the office manager find out to begin with? If it was through medical records, she's in direct HIPPA violation and in a ton of trouble.

I would stay on HR's butt and DEMAND they deal with this and immediately. This is totally unacceptable!

I agree with Mis that it is a HIPPA violation!!! That is a major no no.

But think if your WLS is the topic of her conversations, then she must have one boring life. Not saying your boring but ... someone needs to get a life.

Hell, I would walk into that office and tell her in front of everyone (insert name) is your life really so boring that you have to tell everyone about my business? You could also talk to the Medical group that she is affiliated with, or the hospital and let them know. Just a thought

i think you have every right to be upset ! Who is she to be spreading around your personal medical info ? I would definetly stay on this, document EVERYTHING ! Every conversation you had with the floaters. time , date , place , witnesses . etc. You may need this info because if she talked about YOU, shes talked about OTHERS too. She has crossed some serious lines and i think she should be held accountable. But , HOW you handle this is going be the difference.Be professional, polite but firm, and stand your ground

( sorry, i hit the send button) If you handle it this way , your supervisors will listen to your important words. If you go in yelling, bitching, or acting a drama queen thats all your supervisors will see, and will probably just blow you off to shut you up. (Nothing will get solved to YOUR satisfaction, and you'll just come across as whiny and unprofessional ) Good luck !!
