Prying questions about privacy in a nosy world.
The subject of this article is privacy and its relationship to the activities of health care organizations. Privacy is a good quality that each individual may possess. The quality of an individual's privacy is a personal determination. Although everyday life requires that we attempt to understand and protect the privacy of others, our efforts may be unsatisfactory despite our best intentions. If an individual believes that his or her privacy has been invaded, then it has been; no determination or opinion of a third party can alter that fact.
