But come on... it's not the population at large here. Out of 535 people, it can't be too hard to guess whose brains are turning to swiss cheese.

What if your doctor walked into your waiting room where 3 people were sitting and announced: "Someone here has Alzheimer's. Someone here has Cancer. Someone here has HIV. It might all be the same person... or it might be different people."

Is that a HIPAA violation?
