Maybe in Illinois, but you're wrong about Louisiana. Single party consent.

Recording the conversation withhout permission is illegal too.
NO NO and NO! Recording a conversation is never illegal unless you have that expressly discussed. Now, a court "may" rule it inadmissible, but you would always rather have it than not have it.
So if any of you get anything out of this thread, don't ever not record the conversation worrying about it being illegal, it can always be destroyed, but not recreated out of things air.
Full disclosure....I'm recording this now

Why on earth is she not fuming mad at MIL as well? After all, she's the blabber mouth that spread your friends business all over town.
She should sue the MIL for the HIPAA violation as well.
The MIL isn't a covered entity.

You made those comments after people, many apparently more educated and currently working in the medical field, responded to your rambling with constructive advice.

I don't understand why DIL isn't mad as F at MIL, in addition to the doctor.
NO ONE outside of MIL should know about that after the doctor spilled the beans.

Assuming the friend did nothing to prompt the comment, it's a clear HIPAA violation with the MIL as a witness if the doctor knew of the condition (without a need to know) and shared the info with a third person without a need to know.

I agree that the MIL is an a-hole, I'm just saying that she can't be sued for a HIPAA violation because she isn't a covered entity. Only covered entities (hospitals, docs, hospital employees, and other people who have access to privileged info) can be sued for violating a patients privacy rights.

Ah, so it basically only pertains to health care providers and/or those defined in the statute? The more you know...

Actually, I just received an email from the friend this happened to. She has a lawyer taking her case. According to her, the lawyer said mil doc royally screwed up. Her husband is extremely upset and is coming home early from China.
You can find a lawyer to take any case these days...
Posted on 4/15/15 at 8:43 am to tigerpimpbot
Yep, only those with privileged info.

One time our gp called me to rat my husband out ab his crappy Blood work.
Did he try to sue her? NO.
why couldn't the friend just explain the situation to the mil and keep things under wraps until the husband came home? Who knows...the mother in law could have been a good source of comfort.
People are weighing down the legal systems with so much garbage.
So the doctor messed up. It's already done? Does she want money for her anger? Will that make it better?
Did he try to sue her? NO.

Checking in this morning. Good to see you took my advice.

Did you ever answer me where/when you were towed by Road Runner? I may actually be able to help you.

Apparently not illegal in LA. However, it is in most states.
Edit: Just check your own state prior to doing it.

I would like to hear a response from lsugal about this.
lsugal:
To reiterate. The doctor told your friend the private information in front of her mother in law, which she wants to sue for.
What your friend is most upset about is the fact that the information got out to others VIA the MOTHER IN LAW.
Why is your friend blaming the doctor for her heartache when her mother in law is the one who spread it around town?

The doctor is a professional and this is part of an agreement between the doctor/patient. its pretty simple. MIL is a count too though

Her friend's MIL doesn't have as much money as the Dr?
