Or maybe there is just no medical privacy in QC-land because the AIs know everything so it's no use.

Welcome, new person!
I can imagine exactly that happening. Imagine hospitals, insurance companies, and Facebook controlled by AIs with free will. There'd be no privacy of any kind. (But Tai thought she could keep her hobby secret...)

Did anyone else think of privacy in a space controlled by an AI when Station in 2125 asked Hanners if she was decent and could he apparate? Didn't he know if she was dressed?
themacnut:
Station probably felt it was best to at least act like it was respecting Hanner's privacy, even if it was already fully aware of whether or not Hanners was dressed.
Is it cold in here?:
Hannelore had lived planetside long enough to establish her counting business.
Winslow was a new purchase, and it's questionable whether she could have survived long psychologically without an AI around. So maybe a short time?
But she was in eighth grade with other kids: 896.
jwhouk:
It is possible that AI's are not all knowing. I mean, we know Momo has only a terabyte or so of storage on her old chassis.
It might be the inter-connectedness that gives AI's the appearance of being "all knowing". By that same token, though, my PC should be "all knowing" because I can look things up on Google or Wikipedia at will.
An interesting thought: whatever may have caused her OCD to explode in her pre-teens, did Station perhaps perform semi-intentional "meatball psychiatry"* on her by turning her focus on certain things (counting, for example) instead of on her OCD (repeated adjusting her curtains and checking for dust bunnies)? By doing so, he might have helped reduce her anxieties enough to where she could go down to Earth and function, somewhat, among the "natives".

WAYF:
I hereby christen the droids "Fayebots", after this strip. ;D
