To be fair to life labs, at least they don’t dox you aloud to an entire waiting room.

I witnessed that happen to a few prominent financiers in Toronto while I was getting some bloodwork done. It was terrifying within about 5 minutes I had all the personal information I’d need to do some seriously nefarious things.

This happens on most every occasion I visit a clinic in Canada. Nurses and secretaries do not care.

I wonder if it's more that they just don't understand - also habits are hard to change. "it's always been this way"

Not sure what the solution is.

Happens in the US too. As I was waiting for my doctor's appointment, I was just listening to the secretary call up patients to obtain payments. She was just reading out their credit card information out loud. I was honestly tempted to just take one down then call the credit card company to let them know it was compromised.
