I used to work at a family planning clinic, and I'd regularly see our clients out in public. It was often uncomfortable because if they recognized me, they'd get all awkward, cross the street to avoid me, etc. There are strict policies protecting confidentiality and I never would have said or done anything to compromise that in any way. Our policy was to not say anything unless they initiated it, and then to just say hi or some other neutral, friendly response (unless they actually asked a question or something). But sometimes I'd remember what they came in for, so I'd be looking at them and thinking, "vaginal warts" or "birth control pill problems."
