No its not an invasion of privacy, the only time when someone has to take your fingerprints is if your related to a crime.

Another View: You may be asked for your fingerprints for any number of employment positions, most notably any position with any governmental body or agency. Some financial institutions and even grocery stores require a thumbprint on an electrical scanner/reader when cashing checks, etc.

Taking a person's fingerprint can be considered an invasion of privacy depending on the context and the consent of the individual. In certain situations, such as criminal investigations or employment screenings, fingerprinting may be legally justified. However, without proper authorization or legitimate reason, it can be seen as an infringement on an individual's privacy rights.

A medical assistant is talking about What is in your medical file with coworkers is this a breach of confidentiality?

That depends on whether or not it is in a protected area. Of course, it is completely acceptable and necessary for nurses, office personnel and physicians to discuss patient care, but it should be done in a professional and considerate fashion. For example, if they were in an elevator just chit-chatting, that would be an invasion of privacy and violation of HIPAA laws because they would be releasing information to people that do not need to know. But if the conversation was taking place in a private room and was necessary to the wellbeing of the patient, for billing purposes or something of that sort, it wouldn't be considered an invasion of privacy. It all depends on the reason for the discussion, and the forum in which it was held.
