The fact that she did not reveal the name of the patient does not protect that nurse from a major HIPPA violation: * She appears to have accessed the clinical record for a purpose that itself was in violation of HIPPA. Under HIPPA, one who has access to patient records can not access such a record unless for a purpose associated with the care of that patient. * She appears to have, in violation of HIPPA, disclosed confidential information related to the care of that patient without getting the permission of the patient to do so. As I have stated: I got caught doing such once. I was a clinician who had valid access to the clinical records of that patient. I was providing clinical care to that patient and therefore could access the clinical records. But, on one occasion I accessed the clinical records with the intent to disclose general (not specific) information to another person not involved in the clinical care of that patient, which I did disclose. The result of that prohibited disclosure was that the life of the patient was saved and he did not die. * I was educated on the provisions of HIPPA. * The patient signed a legal document stating that he had been informed of my violation of HIPPA and he did not wish to press for charges against me and that he was glad that I did make the unauthorized disclosure. HIPPA is very serious. What the nurse appears to have done,, under HIPPA, is not excused by the fact that the nurse may not have revealed the name of the patient. NOTE: I do not have the full information on this case. I can only say that it looks to me like she violated HIPPA. Perhaps there is some information not known to me that would show that she did not violate HIPPA.

In the day that that statement was made God had but one people, today we see many different churches or denominations!! This statement is also under the category of "Curses on Disobedience" for his people!! It does seem to me that today he'd be talking to which denomination? or is it all of them?? I guess I'm trying to ask who is his people today? I would say to answer my own question, he's probably talking to his people in whatever denomination they might be in?? Because I'd say his people are those that, according to Revelation, are those that follow him and keep his Commandments? So I'd say rather than a particular "church" building, he'd be talking to the people who are his church. In these last days the church is actually in us, or we each individual, are the church or his people?? Just my thoughts, obviously! ?

Promise Nations shall worship before Thee Psalm 22:27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord : and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.

I highly doubt she would lose her license. The organization she was working for may fire her as she has exposed unethical, if not criminal, conduct. I am aware that there can be criminal penalties, but patient ID info seemed to have been adequately blurred out. I recall one nurse (RN) one time who would post pictures of patients, who were incapacitated enough to not know what was going on, on Facebook. He lost his job, but ended up working in another hospital over the hill. CNAs doing similar things would likely lose their certificates as they are not as in short supply. CNAs doing the same thing, in a different situation and hospital, were publicly exposed in the media and penalized, but the RN was very quietly dealt with. Looking at the situations this nurse was in and her "nurse speak", I have no doubt as to the fact that it is a truthful video from her viewpoint. Not exactly sure what you mean by legitimate. Her language was very "critical care nurse" in the manner of speaking. Many of the scenes were shot at the bedside of patients and other workers walking thru engaged in conversation as if they were coworkers. The "facts" of the video I cannot really say. Of interest, this same hospital, Elmhurst, in NYC was featured in another video. News reports were giving harrowing details of long lines to get into the ER, but a video posted on line showed no lines and few in the ER. Not saying there were not very sick ones in the ICUs.

Sometimes you cannot convince anyone of anything when they have an agenda. But that post will be answered when I get to it. However, you will notice that everyone who disagrees with the agenda gets trashed, be it the president, one of his cabinet officers (a seventh-day adventist), and a host of others.

And you "know" this how? Or are you just passing judgement on him because he doesn't agree with your opinion?
