The employee commented on the photo : " Funny but this patient came in to cure her VD and get birth control , " according to the report . The employee 's post was met with some opposition on Facebook as some said he is violating HIPAA . The employee responded on Facebook : " People , it 's just Facebook ... Not reality . Hello ? Again ... It 's just a name out of millions and millions of names . If some people ca n't appreciate my humor than tough . And if you do n't like it too bad because it 's my wall and I 'll post what I want to . Cheers ! " according to the report . ;
