How does that not violate HIPPA? Do you have a source; out of curiosity?

There's some situations where say, a person may be hospitalized after a car-accident and also has prior warrants out for them (the police were already involved with the wreck and now know the 'wanted' person has gone to a certain hospital). So the police will leave paperwork in the patient's chart, asking for a "courtesy call" when the patient is about to be discharged, so that they can than be arrested. But it's technically not "mandatory" (oh, I was busy and forgot to call the detective!), but the system definitely makes it feel mandatory

But being tipped off about a patients' medical condition‽ So that they can be arrested afterward for said medical condition‽ I'm sorry, but how the actual fuck does that fly in any logical realm?

If true: the hospital should be held accountable for violation of HIPPA, which is a federal law. Fuck their state laws, that's not how it works

ITT: even more division toward any semblance of unity. So instead... let's just slow-walk ourselves into the same bullshit (that we've been doing), because the circus and bread done got us too fucked up; seeing only 'left' or 'right'. Rather than how to help our brethren—we fight how to make our "best opinions" best

They also help orphaned children find family and aspirations!

Nurse here: we ask 'orientation' questions as part of our assessment

I had a younger patient going through the straights with hallucinations (newly diagnosed schizophrenia)... and I had been asking the same questions (as we do) a lot

So I asked them once again, "Do you know why you're in the hospital?". Their response: "Deez nuts!"

I always appreciate a good "Deez nuts" joke, but that one has been my favorite so far. The volition on their face and the shitty smirk; they're completely tied down with a guard because they would occasionally be violent... but hot damn, that was a zinger.

I counted their response as oriented— they know what they did lol

What's wrong with orcas? I mean, it seems like they're kinda psychotic... but who's to judge?

a haughty, cackling asshole ignoring a woman's expertise

Boy howdy, that's a spot-on description. Never listened to him because I expected it to be trash; but I didn't realize the situation was so dire

Motherfucker leans into sensationalism and shock-value, because he'll be forgotten as soon as he shuts the fuck up—and of course he won't have any useful skills to hold a job with real value afterward. Fucking cowardly shits, afraid to work on something of substance when the fame/infamy runs dry

So yeah, it indeed made my blood boil a little lol. Wish I could say it was mostly pity for him being so... dumb? But nah, that's a person acting like garbage and should be treated as such (until proven otherwise)

It's always refreshing to crack open a cold one?

I mean... at the least, your mom tells me that several times a week

Edit: And at the most; everyday

Any source for that?

Thank you for your service—someone had to say it
