Confidentiality concern

In the area where the consultants sit it is very open and everyone can hear what is being said about other patients, as they talk about more than one patient at one time. I was concerned last time we came when what I assumed to be a senior consultant was very rude to another another consultant, he said "you have been here two years you should know better" this was said in front of myself and my son we both felt very uncomfortable about this. I really think there is a confidentiality issue in the treatment area too as it is so open everyone can hear everything.
