Coach O said Fulton's injury was "very serious" but getting better...

Hippa

HIPPA doesn’t apply to coaches, it applies to members of a patient’s healthcare team.

This is simply common courtesy

Why does O have to be so cryptic?

All coaches hold their cards close to the vest.

Because he's a coach and not a doctor?

So then I'm guessing Muddbone is full of shite then.

He said it was a sprained ankle when it happened.

So

It absolutely applies to all employees of LSU

Lol no. It would apply to the staff doctors and trainers, but there is no case law supporting the assertion that a coach, professor, or janitor is a HIPAA covered entity.

how the heck did you guys buy that it was an ankle injury?

that dude tore something in his back.. look at how he froze and the angle he was at... he got his back bent to far backwards

This is not true. This is like saying the CEO of a hospital could tell you someone’s diagnosis because they aren’t medical staff. HIPAA covers entities not just medical staff. That said I think O is just being careful. Athletes sign away all their rights basically including HIPAA when they sign grant in aid. The university can get any information they want on any athlete. I know this from seeing athletes in clinic settings.

Do you listen to yourself? Just saying, asking for a friend.

Its privacy of the player and nothing else. You don't know how HIPPA works.
