Buh-bye, job! Seriously, reading a patient's records without permission is a huge no-no. Not worth it, even if you know the person.

But what if there's a valid reason for checking the medical record, like if it's related to work?

Nope, nope, nope. That's a straight-up HIPAA violation. Not worth the risk, even if you know the person.

Come on, it's just out of curiosity. As long as they don't share the info, it's not a big deal, right?

B) Even if it's out of curiosity, it's still not appropriate to invade someone's privacy like that.

Absolutely not! That's a major breach of privacy. I can't believe they'd even consider doing that.
