Another reason I have issues with health checks

I was talking to a friend who told me something they saw when they were having their 'dirty foreigner' health check. The hospital staff had a stack of test results of the foreigner health checks, complete with pictures attached. My friend speaks pretty good Korean and apparently the staff were wandering around, showing each other the photos (with test results on full display) and quizzing each other on who they thought was prettier.

I guess the concepts of 'patient privacy' and 'professional ethics' haven't reached this hospital or these staff members yet... but clearly dumbassery has.
