Really pushing HIPAA with this one, but with good cause
Yeah the sticker sentence especially. That's essentially the same as saying that the kid got the shot. HIPAA doesn't say "it's ok to reveal private health information as long as you do it in a wink-wink manner." Revealing personally identifiable health information is forbidden no matter how you do it.
I think she's good with "I absolutely did not say that".
I suspect this is a double reverse "and everybody clapped" moment.
See now, I decided I could read that as "your son deserved a bravery sticker for having to bear up with you as a mom."
Since the mom made the visit itself public, and lied about the conversation, and the nurse didn't specify what either person DID say, nor what actually was or wasn't done, I'm not sure any new information was revealed. Implied, if you want to infer it, but not stated. And for the mom to sue about it, she'd have to publicly admit to her own lies....
Psst...the responder isn't really the nurse from the story. It's someone pretending to be the nurse and blurring names so that they can rile you up.
I would certainly hope so, for everyone's sake.
It already read like one of those "and then they all clapped" posts.
That last comment is 100% actionable by both her employer and the patient.
Don't be dumb with that shit. Judges don't fucking listen to it was just a joke wink wink unless you have some good fucking lawyers.
Can you explain how exactly? They only mentioned that they gave them a sticker at the end of the appointment.
Is it purely the fact that they admitted there was an appointment?
The nurse may well never work in healthcare again.
Ragebait folks. Yes it might exist out in the wild but do something better with your time.
It's been a while since I saw a good "and everybody applauded" moment. Thank you for that lol
EDIT: Just clicked and saw the second part, whomp whomp
“and everybody applauded”
Just what I came here to point out. I'm such a hero!
Don't know that I've ever done a Riker in here before...
No way a nurse is responding to a post like this. This is a troll who came across a public post and is pretending to be the nurse, blacking out names, and posting this elsewhere for the updoots.
I am so not antivax, but there is definitely a problem for the nurse.
No there isn’t.
Posting patient information on social media is a HIPAA violation if you do not have the patient’s authorization because it discloses individually identifiable health information to the public that could be used to commit fraud or identity theft.
“Yes, I’m VaxBatCrazy59’s son, and I would like to purchase this motorcycle. My identification? Of course, it’s all right here in a now-deleted facebook post. You can confirm with NightNurse1985. Of course, i’ll wait.”
This even specifically says there’s nothing in HIPPA that mentions social media. This (law? Policy? What is the . . crime? . . again?) has all the solidity of soup.
mom was so brave
Question is, why would mom feel compelled to lie about her kids getting a vaccine?
Virtue signaling for her MAGA Karen Klan.
Have that printed on his headstone
