Same with my wife. She will tell me about some gross shite or whacked out patients but has always been sure to not mention names.

most tell stories about patients, but do not give names

Very rare,we tell stories but never mention names.
I did work with one nurse that got in serious trouble for blabbing about a pt.and mentioned their name in checkout line at a grocery store.Someone behind her heard it and reported it.She was lucky she didn’t lose her license.
She was a dipshit gossipmonger anyway.

My ex wife used to get drunk and read her clients depositions to me.
Then after we split up she started banging one of the dudes whose divorce she was covering. She also started banging him before he filed.

God only knows the things your shrink knows about your life and that poor dog.

My ex-wife (RN) would tell stories about famous people that were on her unit. An ex-gf (NP) would tell stories about cases but not names.

Most take it serious for the simple reason that names and identifying information just isn't necessary for telling a story. I may tell my wife about some motion argument or appeal I won but it's usually mostly procedural information, and God bless the woman for listening.

My sister is a RN and took a job at an ER in North La once, they had a bunch of young nurses (right out of school) who would start making comments when a man was brought in.
They would take pictures of their dongs and share them with each other laughing.

I work in Healthcare, and have a lot of friends who also work in healthcare (my wife also works in healthcare). I don't know anyone personally that does that. Obviously names will get said when professionals are having discussions about a particular patient's condition, but I don't know anyone who has said, "guess who I saw today" or something of that nature.
ETA: I have seen someone get fired for looking into the chart of someone they knew personally, just because they were nosey.

I’ve seen the news stories about people accessing EMR when celebs go to the hospital.
Even though they tend to use aliases for celebs.

They do, but not always. I guess it depends upon each hospital's policy.
There is an audit trail though, that will show every user who has accessed a patient's chart and what they did in that chart. Hell, we can even log into a program and watch a recording of what a user did while logged into the EMR.

Not true.

Correct ICD10 codes, detailed charting, timely filing.

I don’t think that doctors usually go around telling their friends stories with people’s names attached.
And there’s all sorts of rules about what is potentially an identifier under HIPAA (like for instance ZIP Code can’t be quoted if it has less than 20,000 people in it), but telling a general story without identifiers isn’t illegal
One of the better HIPAA compliance "oops" cases involves a guy telling employees at a relatively small company that health plan premiums are going up due to something like "we had an expensive pregnancy claim."
Well, there were only like two women at the company who got pregnant that year so OCR had fun with that.
I may have misremembered some of the details but that's basically how it goes.

I use the hell out of case consultation at work with other therapist (HIPAA compliant) so I don't have to talk about it when I get home. The harder stuff, I'll share in my own therapy. I work with heavy trauma folks (think sexual abuse survivors, domestic violence, victims of violent crimes) that I'm pretty sure others don't want to hear about and I try my best not to drag that through the door at home.
If it's with friends/family it's usually a "Yeah, I've worked with someone with X" or something really, really general that isn't singular client specific. Lots of neutral terms (them, they, the client).
