I have a question. I over heard that a PRE HOSPITAL provider was fired because they asked the neighbor child how her parent was. apparently the kid is at their house more than her own. the parent was in police custody and not a hospital patient but was on hospital property. did HIPPA get violated or could the person fought the charge?

I have a question here. I heard a prehospital provider could have been fired because they asked their neighbors daughter who is at their house more than her own "How is your dad doing". is this a hippa violation. the patient was in police custody outside the hospital and not a patient at that time. the Father was obviously drunk he was yelling the providers name saying " hey that's my neighbor ****, they lives next door to me". so could he have fought this as he feels it was not a violation and they say it is.
