[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell us how the meeting goes op. I want to know if it does violate HIPPA. In my opinion it should in someway but I don't know the laws.[/quote]

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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]
