100%. In my example, there would be other confidential information about the care received during the incident that would make it HIPAA but the obvious missing leg would not be a violation in itself. And, you are correct that this would not likely be an issue in a more populous area. This is...

True but part of my lesson to the new hires is that we are a rural community so when you tell a story, there is a very good chance that people will figure out who you are talking about or will repeat the story to someone who knows who you are talking about. You talk about the call where the...

I used to work for EMS and part of my job was teaching HIPAA when on boarding new employees only to have my supervisor come in and tell war stories, violating all the rules I had just gone over.

We are plain country folk, we don't worry about HIPAA :D

I'll one up you on that. I sent a "spicy" text to my son by mistake :oops: It was more "flirty" than "spicy" but we got a heck of an "eeewwww" for it.

And, sometimes if I do recognize the number 🤣

Very good reminder. I would say that 99% of my unsolicited texts from strangers are from investors trying to buy one of my houses. I don't respond to them either.

We do text back and forth about my medical treatment. I can't get past the front desk to communicate with my doctor so I text her and she relays the message and then replies with his response. Sometimes we throw a cute joke in there about him, or the office staff or about me not charging her...

I'm sure it was. The Dr. and I go way back and our visits usually extend into other chit chat after treatment so I'm sure she is concerned where my loyalties lie. BTW, it is with her. She is the glue that keeps the office together. Odd aside... I had noticed that he never charges me a co-pay...

Whew, all is good. I just got an LOL from her then an apology text.

It wasn't important to her Mom...it was her venting about her boss. I'm sure she's mortified and maybe even a little worried that I might say something to him (I won't).

It's been about 20 minutes and no laugh or apology so far. I should have just ignored it :oops:

I don't "diet" because I think of diets as temporary. I had a lifestyle change several years ago and have stuck to it as if my life depended on it - because it did. Where I am a slacker is exercise. I just cant get started or stick to it at all. about 22 years ago, I lost 60 ponds by...

If you receive a text meant for someone else, do you ignore it, respond to let them know they sent it to you by mistake, or go on Disboards and talk about it? I was texting back and forth with my Doctor's assistant/nurse/tech (not really sure her title) and she was updating me on the status of...

I am so happy you took this seriously and that the education was available to you. In my experience, there is not enough good information being given to patients by their doctors. Most of my doctors through the years have pretty much just thrown medications at me and checked my A1c without...

It is in my queue to be watched later. I have had the fortune to see him live a couple of times and he puts on an amazing show.

My husband misses having a dog and every once in a while brings up getting another one. I remind hi of the conversation we had when I had a small bout of "baby fever" and suggested adopting another human. He reminded me that we were so close to freedom and independence why would we want to...

The current best way to buy a car is to figure ot what you want and what you want to pay for it and then reach out to your dealer's Internet Sales Department. I have followed the advice in this website to help me in the past https://www.edmunds.com/
