If you are in the United States, I'm pretty sure that what your pharmacist/pharm tech did is now against the law. Several months ago, the new patient privacy act went into effect, and those laws apply to pharmacies as well as all medical offices, hospitals, etc. In fact, my pharmacy had to construct an entirely new counter so that patients can drop off prescriptions and talk to the pharmacist privately without other customers overhearing the conversation. Perhaps you can print out the new HIPPA rules and give them to your pharmacist, or have your doctor call them.
