A bajillionty variations on
"She told you because she thought she could trust you!"
Yeah, well, the patients there thought they could trust the staff. Guess they were both wrong, huh?
"You put her job at risk and she may even face legal charges!"
Nope, she did that all by herself.
"Don't you know there's a huge fine for these things?"
Yeah, that's because you're not supposed to do it. The threat of a $50k fine is supposed to make you think twice before revealing patient information for the lulz.
"You ruined your relationship! She doesn't want to be in a relationship with a snitch!"
I would hope he has enough pride not to want to be in a relationship with somebody who has proven herself untrustworthy and unethical like this, so no great loss there.
God, I hope none of these people work with sensitive materials.
(I do agree with the variations on "You should have told her to stop" but then they end with "After all, it's just one time, why report her?" which - is it just one time? None of us, including the OP, actually knows that for sure.)
