Maybe the guy was cheating on his wife but CVS had no authority to out him. It is a major HIPAA violation.
Wow looking at my initial comment after reading this post I now understand why he may have been secretive about getting viagra. Thanks for this comment as I hadn't taken it into consideration. You may be right.
Given that the husband had specified he was paying for this and insurance was not to be billed, and that Viagra is usually written as a prn medication and not for automatic refills, I doubt that the pharmacy merely told the wife "BTW, your husband has this prescription sitting here to be picked up." This sounds more like actual blabbing to me. Unless the husband previously authorized his information to be released to his wife, this was an egregious HIPAA violation. There's no HIPAA clause saying it's OK to blab on cheating husbands.
A while back my husband was picking up scripts and one was a new one for me. It had an interaction warning with another medication I took (I could take them together but I had to be careful about a few things). The pharmacist came up to my husband and explained the drug interaction and what I needed to do and then stamped the bag. He wouldn't even hand it over until he went over the interaction. If my husband didn't know I was taking the first medication, he would have learned it right there.
So...maybe, who knows, but perhaps it was along those lines?
The marriage is breaking down because of this incident? Huh? Did I read that right?
That marriage was over long ago, if you ask me. I'm guessing the Viagra was being sneaked to please someone other than his wife. Something was going on for him to be so secretive, even to the point of preventing his medical insurance from knowing about it and paying for it. I mean, who does that? He probably convinced his wife that he's impotent just to avoid having sex with her, but now his lie has been exposed. Better to blame CVS, I suppose, than to accept personal responsibility for his crumbling marriage.
I know a woman whose marriage ended this way. They were married for 44 years, and they divorced because he was cheating. I asked how she found out, and she said she found his Viagra and he wasn't using it with her.
Looking back, she has concluded he probably cheated throughout their marriage. The signs were there, but she didn't acknowledge them. They were together since they were 14, married at 18.
He left her for this last other woman, whom he met on FB and who is now living in the house where she and her husband raised their children. The kicker is that the replacement woman is several years OLDER than she is.

I can just see this scenario where the pharmacist says, you know, this Viagra can potentially react with the heart medication your husband takes...and she says, "You know what? I'll talk to him about that, but you just let him pick it up himself."
