I don't know that I would consider it malpractice so much as a violation of Hipa.
Did anything happen to this patient that could have been prevented if another route was taken?

Not malpractice, because you were not injured. However, you can still file a complaint with your local health department, because your doctor violated the HIPAA privacy practices.
Your doctor has to ask permission for anyone else besides a nurse to be allowed in the room with you.

No - it is not malpractice, just bad judgement on MD's part. Trust the drug rep - he knew the drug better than the doctor did. OTC's were probably the right solution.

malpractice would be doing something outside once allowed practice. with that case i think there is no malpractice done nor negligence but invasion of privacy... :)
