1. Even though no names are mentioned, is this a HIPPA issue?

If not, it is at very least unprofessional...I suspect there will be forthcoming tardiness and cancellations..

I wonder how many times patients have to wait on her...if it is rare, she is rare...usually the wait is longer than the visit if one gets to see the doctor at all..
