Chapter three case # 2Dr. Rubin is a phycologist at a private practice but also takes shifts at the local hospital. He has been extremely busy lately and has lost a lot of sleep, so when he saw a regular patient, Emaline- who had not been back to see him since a particularly intense session, at the grocery store he asked what was on his mind, "how are those coping strategies working since we last saw each other". When Emaline went red and looked in horror around to see if her new boyfriend had heard what was just said to her, Dr. Rubin knew that this mistake was going to hurt...How would you describe the doctor's behavior in the context of his discussing private medical issues in a place where others could easily overhear the conversation? What may the legal issues be?
