Would the offended party receive the fine money? How is she made whole after being violated?


Should she see a lawyer or just make a complaint ?

If she wants to sue, get a lawyer. Obviously.

I used to be the HIPAA officer at my hospital. Based on everything I've read, it depends on how the physician obtained his info and how the disclosure paperwork is written. We all sign that HIPAA paperwork without reading like pressing accept on an apple update.
If the disclosure says the physicians within that group can share info with each other than your friends dr did not violate anything. If it does not, her treating physician can get into trouble for disclosing to Dr. Dick. If Dr. Dick looked up the record on a shared network, this is a violation bc he is not treating your friend. His looking up her info is like if you worked at a hospital and looked up a celebs info bc you were curious. 100% wrong.
I would defineyely report this to

Good luck to your friend!

Is recording the phone conversation with the secretary legal???


Absolutely. Law in Louisiana is one of the two parties has to have knowledge the conversation is being taped. Doesn't matter which party.

Mil and friend said he was being a big a-hole after he realized he was wrong about mil script.

Sounds like what us in the medical field call "straight bullshite".

Now, I can see your friend asking about her results in an attempt to get a free visit. Judging by your mastery of the English language, this is quite possibly the case. The doctor was nice enough to comply and give her the results with MIL in room. Now cheapskate arse friend trying to make an issue of it. If you bring someone in the room with you to discuss private info, it is implied that you don't give a shite if they hear.

This does not seemy like something sue worthy.

I still feel like part of the story is missing. I doubt he blurted it out without some type of prompt.

Your "friend" has an STD and your only defense is to call people mini nut men.

Find better friends because your friend is a whore. That is just my no balls assessment, bitch.

He was in violation when he disclosed info in front of his other patient, even if she was his patient and he had a valid reason to access/know her medical history, this would be a violation.

You can't believe a doctor would act like a spoiled brat child after he's proven wrong?

It's hard to make sense of your story but it doesn't sound like you were there so you really don't know what actually happened other than what your friend says. Why are you so obsessed with this? It's generally best to let people fight their own battles.

This is where I get iffy. A spoiled brat child? Proven wrong?

I would think most doctors wouldn't act out like this because they got a dosage wrong. That can be fixed.

Not saying what happened was right, but I feel like info is being left out somewhere.

Slow down when you read because you don't know what you're talking about.

Hey genius it was the mil doc not my friends doc! She only went with her mil because she is elderly. You are what us common folk call lazy half asser know it all because you failed to comprehend anything you read . Then you comment on a subject that you think you know everything about. Wrong.

The prescription screw up was a big f up and the doc really thought he was right and was an arse about it. My friend has no reason to lie. She doesn't need a free visit. She does want to file a complaint though because that doc was dead wrong.
