Thanks for your information and opinion. I was told by the NP that had worked there that it was definitely a violation. She has been in health care for many years and works ER at a large hospital...head nurse. I'm still hurt and furious that a little old "witch" could suffer no consequences...
1. She discussed my "scripts" before telling me to find another doctor.
2. She declined letting us in another room where we could talk privately.
3. She wants the "power" and I'm sure the doctor now knows but, he has no _ _ _ _s.
4. I would like to know she was fired...I was a 1st grade...
Why is there a HIPAA law if there are NO consequences??? My medical business should not have been discussed in the waiting room of a doctor's office. What is the HIPAA law if not to protect ones privacy? I'm very confused!
I believe my privacy has been violated. I had an appointment with my doctor. When I went in the office I was met by the office manager/Dr's nurse in the waiting room. She presented me with my medical file and said “they” could not meet my medical needs. I was in complete shock! My daughter...
