To be honest - I am baffled as to why a 16 year old is doing a job like that. How must the older person feel? I did not know people so young could do a job like that....I mean at 16 you surely are not ready to be doing something THAT personal and in depth?
Not to be insulting but...if you are going to go and post a thread like this following what you have done...it shows you have not been educated on the meaning of and reasons for confidentiality, therefore you are not ready for that job. It may be your opinion, but as responsible adults we learn to know what is right to share and what is not. And I know this is not the case, but responsible adults are the ONLY kind of people who should be in this kind of job.
You could find yourself in DEEP trouble if you were to be found out for talking like that about a patient.

"I know you guys are looking at this post in the ''hospital worker'' way; don't"
But you ARE a hospital worker. And the rules you follow when at work apply EVERYWHERE in your life. This being said - you are 16! And I am actually shocked that someone so young is doing this job... are you educated in this field? Because if so, you should know not to do what you have done - but it is the responsibility of your employer and your educational establishments to educate you on this.
I know people are wanting to stop this thread but I really wanted to reply as this is a subject close to my heart - I have done similar work; very personal, intimate care work with people with disabilities and I have glanced over many of the replies in this thread and one point seems to have been missed, unless I have missed someone saying it...
The point I feel is missed, I have made above.
