UPDATE: Not posting it, because it honestly doesn’t go to any of the actual questions.\u00a0 I think I am covered legally, but out of 4 lawyers surveyed for this, I got 2 on each side.\u00a0 So, just not worth it.\u00a0 Also, no one should be concerned about Blue Falcon’s threats.\u00a0 Hell, I just jumpy at a lot of things, this ain’t one of them, because (again) there’s no cognizable thing I have done wrong.\u00a0\u00a0 If the bar calls me, I can present them with all the stuff (reams of documentation), but my guess is they would tell him to get lost anyway.\u00a0<\/p>\n
ORIGINAL POST:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n To the Blue Falcon claiming he will contact the Mass Bar, please go ahead.\u00a0 Not sure you know how this all works, but I haven’t violated a single law.<\/p>\n Mr Jerry sent me the medical record.\u00a0 I don’t want to discuss it, except to say that I am unconvinced.\u00a0 Jerry also suggested that I should watch what I say about Poe’s DD214, DD215, and PEB\/MEB stuff.\u00a0 It was not meant as a threat, so do not jump on him.\u00a0 However, his concerns so far don’t concern me.\u00a0 He was worried that disclosing those documents would violate HIPAA.\u00a0 They don’t, largely because HIPAA covers medical stuff, not other documents, and the PEB\/MEB stuff is directly taken from the news station that he sent them to.<\/p>\n However, somewhat paradoxically, this medical record WOULD be covered by HIPAA.\u00a0 Now, Jerry has released it to me, and says Poe okay’d it, but I have no record of that.\u00a0 And to be perfectly honest, I don’t know how HIPAA works on third party disclosures.\u00a0 Anyone a lawyer out there that knows anything about HIPAA?<\/p>\n Again, I am 100% certain I have done nothing even arguably wrong.\u00a0 But just to be on the safe side with this medical thing, I could use an actual legal opinion.\u00a0 Anyone know someone?<\/p>\n *It looks like I was right about not knowing the law, because it is HIPAA and not HIPPA.\u00a0 It also looks like I might not be subject to it, but still need a lawyer if anyone knows one.\u00a0 Want to be sure.\u00a0 And lord knows that my income from this blog won’t cover the $200 an hour to make sure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
