Boys on the Side (1995)

Continuity mistake: As Alex is walking up the hallway in the hospital at one point, watch carefully. As he first enters in one shot, he puts both of his hands in his pockets. In the very next shot his hands are still swinging by his sides, and then he puts them in his pockets again.

Question: When Jane takes Robin to the hospital a doctor mentions to Jane that this commonly happens with HIV patients. I would have thought that would be ethically wrong and against the doctor/patient confidentiality? Surely they can't assume she's family.
