This is a federal offense that carries fines. This is serious business in the medical world if this friend is telling you the truth.
Is this dr affiliated w a hospital, university, or is this his own practice?
I think it is about time for a new dr, especially if this is true.
I've worked in healthcare for years, practice in clinical care, and HIPPA is a very serious violation. |
No my friend is telling the truth. I have known her for 35 years. She is my oldest childs Godmother. She is the one who gave me the name of this doctor because I know she has MS and she sees a neurologist, so I asked for her name and number. I know my friend very well and I know she discussed my dd with the doctor. She actually told the doctor that I was a bit upset that she was aluf about the situation. She told the doctor that she knows that she is a calm person and doesnt get excited but to me it seemed that she didn't think it was a big deal. I know she talked about it with my friend. I am going to go around about with it today to see for myself if she talked to my friend about my dd. Then I have proof...my own ears!!!
