[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone else get a vibe when Langdon was crushing Becca’s pills? And being so adamant about HIPA? Maybe a reach, but possibly a foreshadowing of a relapse?

I mean, crushing pills for a patient and (of course) adhering to HIPA are in and of themselves not problematic. But in this context, the handling of pills and the secrecy…[/quote]

My read on him crushing the pills is that he was being kind to a patient and using empathy to help her take her prescribed meds. It wasn't secret -- the meds would be on her chart and prescribed by the pharmacy. Crushing them into the oj does not make them more secret.

My read on him being a stickler about HIPAA was that he realized there was a good likelihood that Becca's UTI was caused by sexual activity and he knew it could be sensitive for both Becca and Mel and felt it was best that they discuss it in private without his intervention. I think if it had been a diagnosis with potentially sensitive implication, he would have just told Mel (I would suspect that Mel is a designated healthcare proxy or may even have guardianship, though I guess if that was true Mel would have just said that when Langdon brought up HIPAA?).[/quote]
