It is important not to speak out of angry emotions, and again sometimes it is best to tell an employee that one may need to think on the matter first before responding. While it may not seem like a "big deal" it is important to make sure that the words that are used when speaking to employees are simple and clear. Some employees may not understand the use of large words, and therefore the message that the manager / supervisor is trying to convey may be lost. Good grammar is also a must for every type communication. Use of slang terms is not a wise idea, as what is acceptable in generation / culture could be offensive to the next..

One should be able to do his or her job without fear of being bullied or harassed. If one feels uncomfortable with his or her situation at work they should have a place to go and someone to talk to with feeling threatened. Once the patient was pushed to the breaking point of possible suicide or presented a threat to others he should have been afforded the same confidential and privacy that all patients receive when being treated at a hospital or doctor’s office. One could argue that due to the mental state of the staff member/patient could warrant the need to review the medical records as a safety precaution. In this case, the supervisor should have approached Human Resources sooner and allowed them to make the decisions to breach the privacy and confidentiality.
