MB *way* overstepping bounds

OP and *sigh* not a troll, even though when I read back over what I wrote it does sound delusional and ridiculous. There have been other things this MB has just gone past boundaries with and I guess that's a part of why this incident just bothers me like crazy. Anyway, my meeting with public relations is in 10min.

Public relations. Patient relations. Good trolls can keep their story straight.

You are not a good troll.

Dang, I mistyped the word, once. Stake me in the heart now.

As someone who has had a crazy boss I believe op. ( my db pointed a loaded gun at me ) This was the straw that broke the camels back for op

Or, maybe she just cares and is trying to help. She didn't violate hippa if she didn't use your name. If she said, someone I know is having XXX surgery.... that is fine. Hope you plan to be terminated today. Good luck getting a new job.

OP, it actually went pretty well, in my opinion. The patient relations person documented the text message and listened to and documented the voice mail and wrote up a report about my concerns and gave me a copy and said she would file the other copy, but didn't say where or with who.
When I brought up that my big concern is that she would use her position at this hospital to get information she has no right to, from the hospital I am using, the PR person neither agreed or disagreed with me but did say that it was valid. So, that's that.

Hospitals do not care you are fooling yourself. We filed a real complaint against a doctor for real ethical concerns and it all got dismissed. Doctor rationalized it... it is all for show. Move on.

I believe her because most of the MBs who post think they have a right to know absolutely everything there is to know about their nannies.

If anything, MB will learn a valuable lesson of not helping others who did not ask for help.

Right, sure.

I'm an MB who wishes I knew FAR LESS about my nanny. She overshares to an uncomfortable level, asks for our help w/ all sorts of personal business, tells us way more than we need or want to know about her personal world, etc... She is a fantastic nanny but she could really learn a lot about appropriate work/life boundaries.

Please don't generalize absurdly based on your limited experience.

This scenario seems plausible to me but based on the evidence presented, OP sounds more than a little paranoid. I would have zero problem telling a boss who my surgeon is, what hospital I was going to and would be grateful for any help. Perhaps this MB has proven herself nutty in the past, but that doesn't come through in the original post.

Two nuts who belong together. In a chocolate bar or a scrotum. Your choice.

What? You'd be funny if you weren't so pathetic.

And vulgar.

As someone who works in a hospital I can tell you exactly what they are thinking and doing right now. They are all retelling your story and saying "whew, glad that crazy lady isn't my kid's nanny." And by the way, it isn't a HIPAA violation for them either since you aren't their patient. So basically they were humoring you because they just wanted to get you out of their office. Your MB may been awful and crazy etc but then why did you stay after she came to your house and yelled at you? That's your own fault. In this case, you are not HER patient so she has done nothing wrong or illegal. There is no privacy law that says an employer can't talk about an employees health issues. Should they? Probably not, but that doesn't make it illegal. Even if she did contact your actual surgeon it's still not illegal for her to do that. What DOES violate HIPAA is if your surgeon says anything to her. But in that case the surgeon is at fault. Not your MB.

So in summary, you have a crappy MB but you are a mean vindictive person who now an entire hospital is laughing about.
