He is seeking unspecified damages for negligence

A Long Island man is suing CVS after a pharmacist allegedly blabbed about his use of an erectile-dysfunction drug to his wife.

The New York Post reports Michael Feinberg had a prescription for Viagra that he would pay for himself and worked for it not to go through his insurance.

When Feinberg’s wife called the pharmacy chain’s Merrick store to get word on one of her own prescriptions she had filed, the employee opened up about her husband’s secret, the Post reported, citing the lawsuit.

Feinberg claims the pharmacy chain violated his privacy under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. Now that word has leaked to his wife, Feinberg told the Post that his marriage is breaking down.

He is seeking unspecified damages for negligence.

A spokesman for CVS told the Post the chain has “the highest priority on protecting the privacy of those we serve.”

It sure is.

Sounds like another law suit lottery set up. CVS has DEEP pockets.

Reminds me of a Monty Python skit called "The Blackmail Show" --

Smarmy TV host...

Nobody does smarmy like Michael Palin!

[dfwgator]

LOL, I’m surprised this isn’t a real show yet.

If their marriage is tanking because of that, there are far more and deeper problems than his ED.

You can buy the stuff with an online prescription now. My sister got it for a pulmonary problem.

If Feinberg would have simply told her about his ED in the first place, she hopefully would have understood and even encouraged the use of the viagra, IMO.

It’s not the “crime”, it’s the coverup.

[DIRTYSECRET]

WOW! He’s gonna get its TWO ways!

[US_MilitaryRules]

He did! He used the brain in the lower half of his body! lol

Not a very strong marriage, there.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

I think this is going to be extremely hard for him to win.

[DIRTYSECRET]

He’s doing it with Harry Palme.

Usually you have something on file at the pharmacy that allows authorized persons to inquire about prescriptions.

The list usually includes your PCP and your spouse.

If he had this on file the pharmacy is off the hook.

It should be all right, so long as the trial proceedings don't take longer than four hours ...

[Red Badger]

I’m sure they’ll put up a stiff fight......................

This has nothing to do with Monty Python, but I found this after I watched your link

Lots of great old tapdancing, if you like that kind of thing.

[DesertRhino]

And all kidding aside. He has a physical issue of ED, an issue that he probably worries that his wife would see as her not turning him on. He addresses it, and she turns on him like a rabid hyena.

Typical.

At least he will be wealthy and can go find happiness away from that ungrateful bit@h.

[Red Badger]

I’m sure the can come to an agreement......................

[N. Theknow]

Will this stand up in court?
