I hate the captain now. That was her own private medical information and absolutely none of his business. Yet he demands to know its veracity and inserts himself into the middle of her personal life. And they’re not even close so it’s all the more creepy. Imagine it — your boss that you barely know beyond a professional relationship wants to be the father of your child? Christ.
Sure HIPAA probably doesn’t exist here but, fuck off anyway. The captain should just have her put on leave since it’s affecting her work and that’s it. This whole story is so awkward.
