The thing is, if this is already public knowledge and he's just letting people know, then it's really nothing to worry about.
Best thing to do is talk to the teacher if you're concerned.Getting offended is a great way to avoid answering questions that make you sound dumb. - exmocaptainmoroni

Quoth MaggieTheCat View PostStill a major HIPPA violation, whether the teacher was being compassionate and understanding, or not. It's up to the OP to decide whether she wants to report it or not, but that teacher should not have divulged personal health information about an individual student without that student's consent (maybe he had already given consent to the teacher?) It would be like explaining that so-and-so has missed the last week of class because they're recovering from an STD or because they're recovering from a round of chemo-therapy.
