Can ask you where you are from based on how you are dressed?
I have a friend that is a Muslim and dressed in Muslim attire to go to her doctor’s appointment. When she visited her doctor, she asked her "where was she from? My friend told her that she was from Massachusetts, Boson preferably, and the doctor said, "no, what country?" My friend stated, "The United States?" The doctor said, no, I mean where were you born?" My friend said in Boston, Massachusetts." The doctor than got aggravated and shook her head. I do not think she would have asked this questions so many times if my friend was not dressed in Muslim attire. Did the doctor violate any Hippa laws, rules or policies? My friend was embarrassed and horrified that the doctor felt the need to constantly ask her so many this question repeatedly and then became agitated when she did get the answer she was looking for.
Thank you.
