Uhm, how about that Walgreen's can't disclose it under HIPAA and Discover doesn't have a right to ask for personal medical purchases when the T&C never stated so. I'm no lawyer (and being a pharmacy tech doesn't make you an expert in HIPAA), but I bet a lawyer could have a field day in litigation with Discover on medical rights and the T&Cs.
