It should be, but I'm betting there's some bullshit clause somewhere that allows it.
IDK, protecting medical data is pretty important, see this incident involving an attempted blood draw by police in Utah, which is a very conservative and police friendly state, yet the police settled for a massive payout and the legislature promptly clarified the law to ensure it was clear a warrant is needed.
I don't know of any cases directly related to pharmacies, but I would honestly be surprised if that was somehow exempted from medical information protection laws. Then again, I've been unpleasantly surprised before...
Ackshually, no, cuz u voluntarily disclose your prescription to us. Apple lets you choose what to share /s
Edit: its def HIPAAcritical
Sounds like these stores should lose their right to dispense medication and all parties have their healthcare licenses revoked and heavy charges placed on the companies.
That's an interesting preview picture...
Lemmy doesn't interact very well with the Washington Post. Most of us get no preview picture at all.
I think it's a kbin specific issue. IDK about others, but the preview pic I get is pretty NSFW
Bring it up with the local admin; there might be an issue with a corrupted cache or something.
Yeah IIRC it's a known issue they've been working on for a while
