(951 posts)But no, I'm not wrong about it. You go tell the family the details of the treatment that you witnessed from Dr X or nurse y and you are violating it. Know what happens when you violate HIPAA? Not hard to be an RN? Well I guess you have never been sued because you had to follow a DR order that put you license in peril. You never had to put up with a nurse manager who gets a bonus for cutting work costs and shifts the patient load to barely manageable. Not to mention asshat DRs. And then there is the position that they have put nurses in. Legally. And you are clueless for saying that. Clueless or ignorant. I don't believe you work in the medical field, unless it is in management. Even managers know that being an RN can be very demanding. Since they do most of the work.
As for lay people you could look it up. You didn't know there were two levels of respiratory credentials.
I don't really care about besting you. But don't bother trying to BS me that the truth always gets told in medical care. Plenty of lies, excuses and denial in the profession,
as well as harassment and discrimination. And like any profession whistle blowers are ostracized. They lose their jobs and good luck finding employment, because the last thing a hospital wants is someone who isn't afraid to tell the truth. They must have been jumping for joy when HIPAA got passed, because it is a legal gag order.
