Seriously, the level that these doctors violate HIPPA is hilarious. Yes, I realize it is a tv show, but as someone who works with an EYE DOCTOR and cannot even say a patients full name due to HIPPA, I routinely cringe. And here these docs are giving out information left and right and in full hearing of EVERYONE in the ER. It is laughable.
shareYou yourself just said it's a TV show, so that right that tells you that real life rules probably won't apply.
shareThat part bothers me as someone who has worked in HR and in jobs involving HIPPA
shareOh yes! thank you! I work at a residential drug and alcohol treatment facility and last night I was like major HIPPA violations! Major HIPPA violations!
I need a nap...
All someone has to do is come up and claim they are a family member and taken at their word and also everything is said out in the open.
I remember years ago reading the Gilda Radner book "It's Always Something" that she wrote before she died and talked about being in a Dr. Office that was not in a private room and people where going on and on about OMG it's Gilda Radner and Dr's were talking openingly about her Cancer
I know right. I also hate it when they talk about personal problems while working with a patient.
