no one doubted you. People just said that it wouldn't be the most shocking thing to hear that a person was not the best patient. And others said that divulging the info was a ******* thing to do (on your part) and unethical or bordering on illegal---depending on the interpretation of HIPPA (on the part of whoever told you).

Could mean he was a jerk, or it could mean he was impatient and tried to do too much too soon.
HIPAA covers details of a person's health. The person who said their family member couldn't even disclose that someone was seen at a clinic likely had a specific type of clinic that would give clues to the type of care received like a mental health or pregnancy clinic. I'm pretty sure the whole basketball world knew that Fred was in the hospital at that time. This person revealed nothing of his health or care. Finally, I can assure you that if you are an *** to health care professionals at whatever level they talk about it to the extent they are able. If you are a public figure that goes from a likelihood to a certainty. To be clear, I'm not suggesting that Fred was an ***, I didn't get that much detail.
Am I an *** for revealing this? Probably. Was it a HIPAA violation to reveal what they did? Not even close.

How in the world could a person be a good patient under those circumstances. His life, as he had imagined it, had come to an end. He was probably more scared than at any time in his life.
He was suddenly in a recovery room with all kinds of strange things happening to him. He was in pain, probably great pain. He was drugged up with pain killers. Surgery is scarey and it makes you do strange things.

the clinic I was referring to was derm. And I said this clinic was very careful about HIPPA.
I doubt mayo would look fondly on an employee revealing details about s patient but that's my opinion and my interpretation of HIPPA--I have also had training due to my job in the medical field.
My wife's a doctor. It's absolutely a HIPAA violation to reveal any personal information (including name) about patient under your care to anyone that is not directly caring for said patient (whether or not its likely to be public info). This goes whether you are a doctor, a nurse, a PT, or an admin.
Too late, all ready reported to the HIPAA police. You can expect your summons to testify in court in the next few days.
And I stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last night. Good grief - you created an account to pile on someone who was already conceding that maybe his op wasn't the best idea he ever had...
But seriously, people, of all the things that CF'ers get het up about, suggesting that the mayor might have been a crabby patient really doesn't rank very high. I would be too, and if nothing else, it shows he's human. Howzabout we just drop that part of the topic & quit piling on Velo?
And maybe go back to wishing CFH a speedy recovery...?
Fair. Although, I didn't create account to call Velo on the nonsense he was spouting.
It was your first post. This is your second. Your account is from April 2015. Where there's smoke...
