Why are you posting about your patients on the internet? You could lose your job for it, not to mention it's sad that you're making fun of someone who's obviously not "that smart"
I agree. While its technically not a violation of HIPAA , sometimes all you need is enough identifying details and somebody can catch wind of it. I've known people to get kicked off rotations for discussing a patient like that. Its very unprofessional.
And FWIW when somebody talks about "something to clean him/her out" that usually means a bowel prep or a laxative, and I can understand why the patient would be confused if the doctor phrased it like that.
