Bugün eczaneye girdim ama içeri adım atar atmaz komşumla göz göze geldim. O an resmen donakaldım, yüzüm olabilecek en kızarık hale geldi. Kondom almayı planladım ama komşunun bakışları yüzünden birden vazgeçip geri kaçtım. Şimdi bunun üzerine ne yapmalıyım? Mahallede bir rezil olmadan nasıl geçiştirebilirim?
Why not consider confronting your neighbor directly about how they conveyed this information, as much as you question it? I mean, clear questions like "who did you hear this from, why did you bring this up?" can reveal both their intent and the source. Because constantly speculating about vague details gets you nowhere.
Actually, the neighbor's intentions are important, but on the other hand, would you really consider a complaint against the pharmacist? Because if the information came directly from there, this is unethical. If the pharmacist is innocent, we need to put a little more pressure on the neighbor, saying, "Think carefully about who you talked to." Let it not be between the two of them; let it be clear who is playing.
I think the main issue is whether you provided details when you gave that information to the pharmacy or not. If what your neighbor knows overlaps exactly with what you said there, it becomes easier to identify the leak point. Otherwise, only suspicion piles upon suspicion.
What was the neighbor's facial expression like when they told you this? Did they act like a sort of "well-meaning cautionary figure" or did they subtly convey a sense of superiority? Because their demeanor at that moment might provide a clue about how they discussed the issue in your absence. People generally maintain their own position externally.
Was there anyone in the pharmacy close enough to hear the information you provided? Think about that. Because it’s usually an area where people speak much louder than their inner voice. If the environment was busy that day, you might also want to consider others who might have heard from a different location. The neighbor's attention might have been caught by something else; if they didn’t come straight from the pharmacy, it could be an issue.
So, did they mention another name when talking to the neighbor, for example? I mean, did they imply where the gossip started or who it came from? Because sometimes people deliberately pass the blame to others to close off their own paths.
Is there a difference between the version the neighbor told and what you remember or said? Because sometimes people shape a story consciously or unconsciously when recounting an event. Does it align directly with the original? That's important.
Could there be a chance of mixing up with another customer at the pharmacy? It seemed to me that the neighbor might have connected what you said to the wrong person. It would clarify the situation better to ask the pharmacist directly, "Was something like this discussed?"
Before heading directly to the pharmacist or pharmacy to ask, I suggest you take a look at how specific the information your neighbor gave you is. Did they imply something general, or did they seem knowledgeable about the details? Because if there are missing pieces, it will be harder for you to make a clear claim of unjustness when talking to the pharmacist. The crux of the matter is how much "substantial information" your neighbor provided.
It's worth questioning why the neighbor came to you with something like this. I mean, is their real intention to warn you or to gossip? If it spread from the pharmacy, there’s an ethical issue, but if it seems that the information is coming to you "especially" through the neighbor, there could be another motive at play.
Before talking to the pharmacist, it’s important to consider whether the pharmacy is busy at that moment and if sharing any additional information about you among the staff is possible. Because sometimes while employees are talking amongst themselves, details can inadvertently leak out. Could a neighbor have overheard this at another time?
If what the neighbor is saying is about you, does it contain a personal detail that they couldn't hear second-hand from the pharmacist or someone else? Because if it’s something that could only come from your mouth, then the situation couldn't have just occurred between the pharmacist and the neighbor. It's important to clarify the original source.
Could there be video recording at the pharmacy? If you think that the conversations in the environment may have been misunderstood, checking the camera recordings might be a solution. You can ask about this and clarify before going to the pharmacy.
Do you live in a place where your neighbor can clearly hear most of what you're saying, for instance? Maybe they picked up something from a different customer or just the atmosphere there, not just from the pharmacist. Blaming the pharmacy without finding the direct source is risky.
If such a detailed chain of remarks has formed from something said at the pharmacy, it is essential to check whether the neighbor's account overlaps completely with the conversation that took place at the pharmacy. This is because, as likely as it is to confuse it with another customer, it is also possible that the neighbor has added their own comments to the situation. It might be necessary to directly ask the pharmacist whether they were given any information related to you in order to reset the source of the incident.
While considering the likelihood of what is said in the pharmacy reaching the neighbor, I think you should also see if any of the customers there recognize you. In other words, someone other than the pharmacist may have taken the matter outside. Because sometimes personal conversations don't go unnoticed by the eyes/observations around.
I found it strange for the pharmacist to expose such a thing about his own customer. It seems more like the neighbor gossiping. If you want, ask the neighbor if they said, "I heard it clearly" without going to the pharmacy.
Even if the neighbor doesn't recognize you, is there a chance that someone at the pharmacy described you by saying something like "that person bought this"? Because sometimes, if what someone else is talking about coincides with a familiar person, it sets off a chain reaction. Could it be that another customer, rather than the pharmacist, has spread the word? Think about it.
The neighbor is likely to stretch the truth, but if the products you purchased were clearly visible on top of the bag at the pharmacy, they might have seen them from there as well. If you've made similar purchases in different places in the past, they could have pieced together the information they've gathered. They seem like someone who has collected too much data.
Independently of the pharmacy, have you noticed whether your neighbor generally keeps track of your personal information? Because they might have learned such detailed information from other sources without hearing it from the pharmacy and just used the pharmacy as an excuse. So, is the issue really the pharmacy, or is it the level of curiosity of your neighbor?
Stop blaming the pharmacy outright and focus on the neighbor's intentions. It looks like the guy is looking for a pretext to meddle in your life openly. I'd directly ask, "Where did you hear that?" and then you can break that chain he started.
You need to talk to the pharmacist first to understand whether they directly shared the information they got from the pharmacy. Maybe they haven't even mentioned your name and shared the situation. Without a name or a clear detail, it could just be a coincidence that what your neighbor heard is connected to you. Clarify things with the pharmacy before putting pressure on the neighbor.
Think about this before going to the pharmacy: Is what your neighbor told you specific to you, or is it a general comment? In other words, did the information come specifically about you, or is it a general statement like "someone did this"? Because sometimes people tend to attribute something they've heard to random individuals.
Was your name mentioned at the pharmacy, or did they connect it through the prescription? It's already hard to figure that out; but the real question is: why is the neighbor carrying this information? If he's just coming out of the blue to tell you, it could be just as related to the pharmacy as it is to him wanting to embarrass you. Instead of talking about this, just ask him directly: "Why did you say that, what’s the connection?" Let’s see what he says.
Is there someone at the pharmacy who knows you? Because if there’s a feeling that something was said directly pointing to you, it could be that one of the employees had a specific interaction with you. Otherwise, it just sounds like your neighbor's creative comments.
If your neighbor has a habit of gossiping, why aren't you questioning the accuracy of what they claim to have heard at the pharmacy? If you directly ask them, "Why did you take this seriously? Did you ask me?" it might resolve the issue more quickly. Sometimes, focusing on the source causes everyone to overlook the main intention.
Have you considered the possibility of someone working at the pharmacy chatting with the neighbor? I mean, like leaking information from there through an acquaintance. Because the dynamics of the source are as important as the intent; if there's an unrelated connection, the matter becomes more complicated.
Even if they don't know you by name at the pharmacy, there might be an indirect connection established through the prescriptions you provide or the medications you regularly purchase. Have you encountered someone there who might have the possibility of recognizing you? For example, could there be a mutual acquaintance, such as the pharmacist's acquaintance or a neighbor? Reducing the situation to just what has been described would be inadequate.
Do you have any idea where, in what context, and how the neighbor conveyed this information? People sometimes distort information when passing it on; maybe it turned into a topic similar to yours, but didn't mention your name directly. Learning about the reactions of others in the environment actually gives a better insight into how the neighbor approached the topic.
Let's say information leaked from the pharmacy; the fact that your neighbor came to you with that information is a separate issue. Have you ever thought about why they chose to spread it to someone else instead of confronting you? Maybe their concern isn't with you but rather with finding gossip material. I think you should focus on your neighbor's true motivation.
Why are you focusing on your neighbor's words instead of going to the pharmacy to learn about your condition? Getting swept up in so many possibilities without verification from the primary source will wear you out even more. If it's something related to the pharmacy, just go and ask directly; if not, discuss your neighbor's intentions.
The intentions of your neighbor are important, but so are your reactions. If you only act based on impressions without directly asking something, the other party may see it as an open door and talk more. If you are hesitant to go to the pharmacy, at least try to corner your neighbor by asking, "Which employee said that?" when confronting them.
If something really leaked from the pharmacy, that's a serious issue. But what your neighbor is saying could totally be an exaggeration. Is the content of the incident clear? In other words, does what they're mentioning match exactly with something you actually talked about or got at the pharmacy? Or are they just making hints and leading you on? It's hard to trust either side without checking the details.
If something was leaked at the pharmacy, it raises significant ethical concerns, but your neighbor needs to have solid evidence to connect you to the issue. Instead of directly asking your neighbor, "What’s your source? Be straightforward," you can confidently redirect the question by saying, "Can you explain where and from whom you got this information?" Let’s see if there’s a reliable chain of information or just weak gossip.
Assuming you got this information from the pharmacy, there might be an overlooked missing detail: Your neighbor may have seen the medicine bag or something you received from the pharmacy and made a direct assumption. If it has come to light not through a leak but due to a visible detail, the situation evolves into something entirely different. Have you considered such a possibility?
What information did the neighbor encounter and where? The pharmacy part is already vague... The starting point of the incident is important; even if it’s completely based on assumption, there should be a clue that feeds into it. If someone else was there during the conversation at the pharmacy and the information came from there, do you have any chance of guessing this?
I don't want to believe that pharmacy employees could do something unethical, but why are you downplaying the possibility that your neighbor might have made this information up? If he doesn't have solid proof, is he just trying to get under your skin or feeding his own ego? That's unclear. The person who is actually bothering you by being intrusive is him, don't you realize that?
Instead of overthinking about the neighbor, wouldn't it be clearer to just go to the pharmacy and ask, "Could any information about me have been leaked?" Because right now, it seems you’re blowing the situation out of proportion regarding both the neighbor and the pharmacy. Once you get a clear answer, you'll see what’s what.
If what the neighbor said is true and the pharmacy employee blurted something out, or if the neighbor just made it up and spread the word, your first priority shouldn't be to question the neighbor. This is because it's still unclear whether the source of the incident is the pharmacy or the neighbor's gossip. If you get clear information from the pharmacy, the other party's story will already be eliminated.
You can get clear information from the pharmacy, but let's say the employee denies it, what will happen then? Your neighbor's intentions are unclear, the source of the event is vague; if nothing comes out of the pharmacy, won't your position be weaker this time? First, get clear statements from the neighbor, then follow the chain.
If your neighbor is spreading rumors about you, the idea of going to the pharmacy to ask is a bit risky; if nothing has leaked from there, you'll have unjustly put the staff under suspicion. First, clarify where and how your neighbor heard that information, so you don't create unnecessary tension by going to the pharmacy. Maybe they didn't completely make up the story, but misunderstood it.
What if what the neighbor heard is true, but they've completely misunderstood the context? For example, they might have caught a medication name but could have incorrectly connected it to who it belongs to or why it was taken. Instead of directly saying there's bad intent, I would suggest examining the details accordingly.
Even if the information your neighbor heard is correct, if you assume that the pharmacy shared something out of context, that's entirely a security issue. But why did the neighbor say that, what do they benefit, or why are they targeting you? Even if the incident originated from the pharmacy, you need to question the neighbor's intentions, because why are they carrying so much information?
Such information sharing is already prohibited at the pharmacy; if something like this happened, you need to discuss it with the right person and file a complaint. But if what your neighbor says is merely suggestive, first determine whether they are bringing any concrete evidence to the table or if they are just making insinuations. Nothing good will come out of this level of ambiguity.
What the neighbor said exactly is very important here. So, it's hard to figure out whether he's telling the truth or making it up without hearing all the details firsthand. If you haven’t pressed for "who, when, how did he say it?" I suggest starting from there. Because half-baked information can drive a person crazy.
You ask whether the neighbor’s comment is an implication or concrete information, but the crucial thing is: why did this information get to them? Is the pharmacy the weak link, or did the neighbor dig this up through their own efforts? There are two distinct dynamics at play: one is a violation of business ethics, and the other is the gossip epidemic. Without clarifying which one is predominant, taking action poses a risk.
If you go to the pharmacy looking for information, you'll brighten the place up, but you might not come away with anything concrete. Let's say the neighbor was just rambling; if you ask at the pharmacy, the topic will spread there too. Pressure the neighbor a bit more; if the information they gave is true, their anxiety will be evident.
You will put pressure on the neighbor, but remember this: Sometimes a person recounts something as if it were certain, even when they are not sure. Maybe it’s necessary to test his memory before going to the pharmacy, to see "who said it, the pharmacist or someone else overheard it." If there is a gap, it will fall from there anyway.
Before pressing the neighbor, try to calmly figure out the context in which they heard that information. Perhaps something was discussed about another customer at the pharmacy, and they misunderstood it. Instead of directly targeting the pharmacy, focus first on disproving your neighbor's comments.
Did you not notice that your neighbor was there while talking to someone at the pharmacy? Or did you find out later? If they are right there at that moment, it’s important to filter what you hear with your own ears too. Let’s not just blurt it out to the pharmacist.
There needs to be a trust-based relationship between the pharmacist and you, but sometimes there are situations where different customers turn and listen to those around them, sharing information. Wouldn't it be premature to target the pharmacy without knowing exactly how and from whom the neighbor obtained this information? Perhaps a third party got involved.
You are very much considering the chance that the neighbor misunderstood the information, but what if they understood it correctly? It's possible that the pharmacy leaked this information, but also consider the likelihood that that pharmacy encountered another gossipy customer. Clarify whether the neighbor actually heard what was being discussed there or if someone told them about it, and take action accordingly.
We're assuming the neighbor got the information from the pharmacy, but what if they heard it from somewhere else and just mentioned the pharmacy to draw attention? It's worth questioning what the neighbor's actual intention is. Maybe the topic is circling around something broader, and the connection is only being made through the pharmacy.
You might have assumed that the neighbor got the information from the pharmacy, but what if they were just pretending to go to the pharmacy to tell you something related to you? In other words, it's worth considering whether this information is completely fabricated before asking directly. After all, if the claim of "hearing it from the pharmacist" falls apart, your neighbor might come up with another source.
But what if the neighbor isn't targeting you directly but has unintentionally conveyed incomplete or incorrect information? For example, they overheard a conversation at the pharmacy and might have misunderstood a couple of details. It might not even be related to you; it's important to really question how they made that connection. Perhaps something was discussed at that moment, but they matched it with you.
Even if the neighbor misunderstood, it would create an even bigger confusion if you just go to the pharmacy and ask without clarifying this first. You need to ask the neighbor, "Who else was there when you heard this?" Maybe someone else is a witness, and then you solidify the scenario directly.
How certain is what the neighbor said about you? Did your name come up directly at the pharmacy, or was the connection made through a descriptive situation? Because maybe they heard something that has nothing to do with you, but they made it up in their mind and stuck it onto you.
We don't know exactly what the neighbor heard or how they expressed it. But the pharmacy environment is already not very conducive to privacy; even the names of medications can be overheard. It's hard to blame anyone without thoroughly examining whether it was inferred from your conversation or someone else's comment. However, if such things are happening in the pharmacy, it might be necessary to choose the environment more carefully.
I don't think the neighbor just randomly went to the pharmacy; there's something linked to it. But the main issue is how what was said about you at the pharmacy got outside? Both the pharmacy and the neighbor need to be questioned in parallel; one of them will slip up.
Did someone from outside come to the pharmacy, or did someone from inside take the information? Blaming the neighbor without fully understanding that is risky. What if the neighbor didn’t even hear a name and just made an assumption? Think about who could overhear conversations in the pharmacy; that would make more sense.
Even if we assume that the neighbor definitely connected the incident to the pharmacy, the issue is this: pharmacists must maintain confidentiality. So if someone from the inside leaked the information, that's a problem in itself. When you find the source of the incident, there might also be a need for a warning on the pharmacy's side.
If it has become normal for such information to leak out at the pharmacy, that's already a big problem. But the issue is this: Why does the neighbor rush to inform you just because they overheard something? I think it's necessary to question their intentions directly; where does this curiosity to escalate the matter come from?
Let's assume that something was discussed about you at the pharmacy; it's very strange how your neighbor hears this and conveys it to you. Why create a gossip chain instead of speaking directly with the person concerned? Acting without considering that they could put you under suspicion on such a sensitive issue is a problem in itself. Now, it's necessary to question not just the intent but also the way of communication.
Since the neighbor only told you this, it might also be an inference or driven by gossip. But if someone at the pharmacy directly targeted you and spoke to you, that's a different situation. So if this is coming from the pharmacy, could it be that someone there is talking about you for no reason? You may need to look for another reason.
If something has been discussed about you at the pharmacy, there are two possibilities: either one of the employees spoke carelessly, or a patient/customer brought it up. If the employees have such a situation, they may have violated pharmacy procedures; you can contact the pharmacy directly to inquire about what happened to understand this. Right now, everyone is being blamed without getting to the source of your neighbor's hearsay, and the situation will remain messy until a clear answer is received.
Let's assume something was said at the pharmacy, but how will you know that the neighbor didn't add something while bringing it to you? How well has he heard it, how did he hear it, did he add his own comment? I would directly ask. You can't always trust the information he carries.
Was something clearly said at the pharmacy, or was it just an implication? It doesn't make sense to blame either the neighbor or the pharmacy without knowing this. It could be that the neighbor misunderstood or exaggerated something. Even if they heard something, it's hard to take action without knowing the details.
Maybe what the neighbor is talking about isn't directly related to you; you might be making the wrong connection. You understood it as if someone from the pharmacy targeted you, but perhaps they were discussing a general situation, and the neighbor took it personally. Ask the neighbor directly, "Did you definitely associate this with me?" so they can clarify the details a bit more.
I think it's more sensible to suspect the neighbor rather than from the pharmacy. Before blaming someone, have you heard anything about yourself from their own mouth? Or are you completely making the connection based on the information the neighbor carries?
Why is the neighbor taking such a convoluted route to inform you instead of just telling you directly what they heard from the pharmacy? They don't clearly explain what they actually heard, but if they have doubts about the reliability of the pharmacy staff, why do they feel the need to spread this from their end? I think we should also consider whether the neighbor is trying to gain something from this situation.
Assuming that the neighbor can convey what they heard accurately is very risky. Whatever the topic is at the pharmacy, they might have completely misunderstood it or maybe they exaggerated something they heard second-hand. But the real question is: why are they bringing this to you? What do they gain by sharing this information with you?
Isn't it a bit strange for something to leak from a pharmacy anyway? It would be pointless for the employees to take such a risk. When you heard what your neighbor said, could it be that you misunderstood at first? I mean, did the neighbor set something up to gauge your reaction instead of the pharmacy?
I think instead of trying to gauge the intentions of the neighbor and the pharmacy, it's necessary to first clarify what was discussed. You can't directly go to the pharmacy and ask, "Did anyone say anything about me?" but you can bring up the topic indirectly. If you ask directly, they'll go on the defensive, and then the whole situation will completely get stuck.
It's not the neighbor's job to bear witness to something discussed at the pharmacy; that part always seems strange to me. Why are they telling you instead of the person they were talking about? If the intention were good, they would aim to inform you directly, and there wouldn't be any need for such a roundabout way of conveying it.
If something was really talked about you in the pharmacy, the neighbor would very directly say something like "I heard this" and wouldn't beat around the bush. But in its current state, either they are trying to give a hint or have created a story in their own mind. Just ask directly: "What did you hear, who said it, what does it have to do with me?" Let's see if something clear comes out.
Forget what the neighbor said, if you think you're embarrassed just because you overheard someone at the pharmacy, the real question to ask is: what do you find so special that it's worth feeling embarrassed about? Maybe it's not as big of a deal as you think, but you're showing excessive sensitivity. I think you should confront this feeling first, not the neighbor.
It is already both unethical and illegal for pharmacy employees to spread personal information about you. If such a situation exists, it will cause them trouble, not you. However, I would definitely question what motivation your neighbor had in sharing this. Is it really an intention to "provide benefit," or is it about creating a buzz?
If something has really been discussed about you at the pharmacy, how can the accuracy of that information be tested? How specific is what your neighbor shared? Is there a name, a detail, or did they say something completely open to interpretation? Because with general statements, a lot of doubt can be created, but it’s hard to get anywhere.
We don't know if the neighbor is telling the truth or completely making it up, but if there's information about you at the pharmacy, wouldn't you want it to be shared with you face-to-face? You can go directly to the pharmacy and ask, "Is this matter private to me, what happened here?" But first, probe what part of the gossip the neighbor understood or might have twisted.
Maybe the neighbor didn’t even think he heard something about you, he just threw it out there as a casual remark in the middle of another conversation. I didn’t understand when or how you made such a connection. Did we miss the beginning of the story?
If something has really been discussed about you at the pharmacy, what’s the purpose of the neighbor who comes and tells you this? It seems more like creating a basis for gossip rather than finding a solution. Before going to the pharmacy and indirectly asking something, you need to go beyond what the neighbor said and ask for details. Something like, "You've heard, but what exactly did they say and who said it?" The uncertainty will only bother you more.
The neighbor pharmacy claims to have heard something about you, but the way they bring it to you is already problematic. If they really wanted to share their concern, they would directly say, "I heard this, be careful." Now, does what they are telling you push you to defend yourself or blame someone else? Or do they just want to collect questions in your mind and confuse you? Make a decision about this and act accordingly.
Have you ever thought that your neighbor might have misunderstood the conversation at the pharmacy? Maybe something was said about someone completely different, but they took it personally. You could go straight to the pharmacy and ask, "Was anything like that discussed?" to clarify the situation.
How can you be so sure about what was said at the pharmacy? The way your neighbor heard it, the context of what they heard, is all unclear. Maybe they made something up, or maybe they conveyed it incorrectly. It would be a bit much to go to the pharmacy and ask for an explanation without first questioning their motivation. I think you should take a breath and find out more clearly what exactly your neighbor heard.
Let's assume that what the neighbor said isn't completely true; either they misunderstood or exaggerated. But if there's still something that concerns you at the pharmacy, they should share that directly with you, not through someone else. So if there's really been a conversation at the pharmacy that relates to you, that’s already their fault, but the neighbor spreading such gossip in between is doubly ridiculous. If you're going to confront someone, you need to clarify who was wrong first.
It's fine to go to the pharmacy and ask directly, but you need to be careful not to make the situation seem bigger than it is. So if you ask, "Is there something going on with me?" you might put the idea in people's heads even if there isn't anything. It's risky to take any steps here without clarifying what and how you've heard from the neighbor.
If your neighbor's concern isn't to inform you, they're just tiring you out with this gossip. Maybe there was never such a conversation at the pharmacy, it's just their words. Instead of going to the pharmacy, why not ask the neighbor, "Why are you bringing this up to me?"
Even if what the neighbor said is true, how they present it is important. Are they conveying the situation seriously, or are they gauging your reaction? Because blowing the matter out of proportion without questioning immediately could lead to something they desire. Acting without understanding the starting point could backfire.
If something was really discussed about you at the pharmacy, why didn’t they feel the need to share it directly with you? Isn’t there something called customer privacy? Even if the information your neighbor brought is accurate, the pharmacy acting so casually seems to be the real issue. If you're determined to confront them, wouldn’t it make more sense to start a calm but clear conversation by saying, "Doesn’t this cross a line?"
Think about this before going to the pharmacy: Could it be that your neighbor happened to stop by at the same time? They might have just guessed something based on what you took. We need to distinguish whether there is really a conversation or if they have created a story from mere observation.
If you're someone working at a pharmacy, you wouldn't talk about a customer to someone else; just the act of discussing it is absurd. But your neighbor's intentions are weird too; why are they putting you in a corner with this? Just tell them to their face, "why do you keep asking about me?"
Could your neighbor be provoking you? People who bring up things in such an indirect way usually love to stir the pot. If they say they've heard something, ask for the exact sentence; if they're beating around the bush, their intentions are already clear.
Is it something that the pharmacy staff shared with each other, or did it come up while talking with another customer? Can you directly ask the neighbor and find out in what context they heard information about you? Because in both cases, there's still a boundary issue, but the difference between them is important.
Why does a neighbor come and tell you something they heard about you? Usually, these types work together and then come back saying "I'm shocked." Is listening to the pharmacy their hobby?
Let's set aside the neighbor's intentions; how likely do you think it is that the pharmacy staff would actually do something like that? After all, we have to ask if nobody has anything better to do than gossip about someone else. Could it be that the neighbor has exaggerated a story?
I found the method of verifying the neighbor's story through the pharmacy to be strange. Even if they heard something like that, why don't they go directly to the source and dispute it, but instead bring it to you? Or did they make it up just to get attention? I mean, if someone approaches a topic through such indirect means, they usually tend to create confusion rather than provide clear information.
Even if what the neighbor said is true, it's weird for them to throw it in your face. It's a very ugly move to gossip about people's health issues. You can go to the pharmacy to clarify the situation, but the real issue seems to be how you're going to set boundaries with the neighbor.
You're saying you'll go to the pharmacy and ask the employees, but that could create an even worse situation. After all, who said what? Did the neighbor make it up, or is it true? I don't think you'll get a clear answer there. Instead, you need to ask the neighbor, "Where did you hear this from?" and find out their source right away. Because the story might be entirely made up from the start, or there could be someone unnecessarily exaggerating something about you.
If someone working at the pharmacy has done something like this, they can be reported directly. But how certain is it that the neighbor is telling the truth? Maybe they're exaggerating to test you. First, you should ask the neighbor, "What exactly are they saying, tell me word for word," to understand the origin of the statement. Going to the pharmacy without getting more information could be risky.
Is what is heard at the pharmacy information that reveals your identity? So, is it a situation that directly points to you, or is it something that has been inferred from something general? Because if it is something directly related to you, then legal aspects, like the issue of information confidentiality, could come into play.
