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 Feinbergs wife called the pharmacy chains Merrick store to get word on one of her own prescriptions she had filed, the employee opened up about her husbands 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.

CVS screwed up!!! Was this a pharmacy “friend” of hers gossiping, or an innocent mistake “while you are here you can pick up Mike’s boner meds. They are ready” Either way, they shoulda shut up!
( I pick up my old man’s meds, but i have to have his ID b4 they will give them to me)

“And we all know it takes a lot of money today to be involved in an erection!”
And assault with a friendly weapon can cost one a whole bunch of money.

LOL and it apparently didnt occur to you, as it did to many cynical posters, that he got it for nefarious two-timing purposes.
Not that that makes much sense to me. Seems if you have trouble, you wouldnt have much desire to track down other females, so why need Viagra?
But, you go with the same old evil female thing. We are always bad and always wrong, eh? Men are the ones so hung up on this, not women. I think it could simply have been he had too much pride and is making a big deal out of it, wanting to hide his troubles from his wife. She would probably be fine.
Either way, maybe well find out more truth soon rather than all this speculation.

Definitely, probably just an off-hand talkative remark. He mightve been flipping through their bags and reeling off what he saw verbally, thats all.

...if wifey is not the beneficiary of said erections...Bingo. Probably she wasn't getting any for years, and now someone else is.

He should lose the lawsuit because he was too stupid to use a different pharmacy.
