Are hospitals really all gossipy?
Discount Medical Scrubs
I will be working in a hospital in the future and i'm jsut wondering are hospitals really all gossipy like high school? I watch like almost every medical show on TV like House, Grey's, ER. scrubs etc... Anyways everyone just seems to know everyones business. i was jsut wondering for people who are Doctors or nurses, if it is really like that.

They really are not gossipy. Everyone is too busy working on patients to even talk or have sex in the storage closet. All people talk about is medical stuff.

Anywhere is like highschool. Thats cause people never really grow up they just get older.

No, its not. Real doctors are a lot more professional than the people in these shows, so there is a lot less gossip.
please please help me guys especially?!

um…NO. Are you completely ignorant to the fact that there is HIPPA to protect you and the patients? Your problem is that you watch too much tv. Go to a library and look up HIPPA. Or better yet, go do a shadow at a hospital for a day

Officially, hospitals do not make gossip about patients, or issue medical records (officially or secretly); that is a matter of policy, and people doing such things could go to prison (after a trial, of course). However, unofficially, hospitals (meaning the people working for the hospitals, doctors or nurses, orderlies, etc.) do gossip all the time. This is just to break the boredom during times of inactivity, but this is a minor issue because the hospitals are always very busy and there is no time for small talks or gossip for that matter.
Good luck to you.
