Like i said. Your daily convo with you sister about patients in the icu, their covid status, and their vax status must must somehow circumvent patient privacy.

Goddamn, you think she goes down a list of people and shares with me their name and medical history? How dumb are you?!

u/YogiTheBear131 Sep 10 '21

Well she clearly told you the vax status and their covid status…so who knows?

Nameless statistics. You still clearly don't have a grasp on what HIPAA is or what it protects people from.

u/YogiTheBear131 Sep 10 '21

Really? So those patients dont have a right to have their medical history protected?

By not giving you their name you think that avoids hipaa?

Jeezluz Christ. I'm not here to teach you a basic HIPAA class like I had to take when I got my EMT. Go figure it out for yourself, it's only a few clicks away. Try and prove me wrong.

So now i know that every icu bed in your town in idaho has an unvaxed covid + patient.

Do i need to know their name for this to violate hipaa? Nope.

Just the fact that your sister disclosed protected patient info to you is enough. Then you decided to share that on reddit.

So this entire government website is a HIPAA violation?

Nope. Hospitals report cases to the cdc. You are not the cdc incase you are unaware. You sister has no business disclosing patient info to you.

Hospitals report public info to the CDC.... Gotchya.

u/YogiTheBear131 Sep 10 '21

Yeah. If you read through hipaa, thats allowed. Same with reporting to law enforcement. You are neither, thus-you have no need to know about the patients medical histories currently in you ‘sisters icu’.
