A child’s health teacher doesn’t need to know if the child’s mother takes Valtrex for herpes, or if Dad takes something for colitis.
“See something, say something!”
My oldest child had to have X-rays and an MRI for a suspected serious knee injury. The orthopedist and imaging center restricted records on the basis of “privacy”.
I said there should be no privacy, since I pay the bills and I am her parent, and she’s not even 13.
I had to drive to the imaging center and as her parent sign forms to release the radiologist report to myself.
My husband’s and my response to the “do you have guns in the home?” question is “do you?”. Our children were told to tell anyone asking, “you will have to talk to my parents about that.”
Frankly, if one of the parents of one of those students wanted to, they could probably get a large sum of money just to shut up and go away.
I agree with your take on it. I know which med you’re talking about also. It’s the only one that takes my pain away.
Nothing else touches it. And this one will end the pain in just minutes.
I always try to keep a few in the home, just in case of a tooth ache.
I’ve never had a problem with the medication. Some people can’t take it.
It would be interesting to know if HIPAA does cover something like this.
HIPAA was crafted to clamp down on medical providers. I’m not sure it covers the private sector. It may. I’m just not sure.
What about HIPPA laws?
Pavlik Morozov is the new ideal.
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
HIPAA was crafted to tighten regulations on health-care providers. Patient information was deemed private. Regulations were put in place to make sure it stayed that way.
Now, were there clauses in there that addressed the private sector? I don’t honestly know.
What this person did was a major invasion of privacy. Is it covered under HIPAA? Maybe. I wouldn’t assume yes.
The first one is a treatment for tinnitus and the second increases the effectiveness of my anti-pain medication. They are carefully chosen so as not to interact with anything each other or anything else I am taking. It helps that SweetiePalm is a Licensed Pharmacist and knows this stuff better than the doctors.
I will bet dollars to donuts that some government bureaucrat would just look at the medication name and go, "You're taking anti-depressants. You're disqualified for (fill in the blank). They wouldn't know or care about the dosage or secondary prescriptive reasons.

This is an excellent assignment! Junior High is the perfect age for kids to learn how to say “none of your business” to government employees.
Yes, your thoughts are reasoned and on point. I agree with your take on it.
Would the government make assumptions? Without a doubt IMO.
Today - would that include...”
I’m sure it would include a lot of prescription drugs if done in most houses today. We just never took anything but an occasional aspirin in our house and, of course, the father’s Alka Seltzer. And before anyone even suggests it, it was NOT due to my cooking!!!
I’d have her list a bunch of antiquated drugs — snake oil, physics, balsams, along with eye of newt, wing of bat, and a host of other offbeat “meds.” Then see what the dipsticks made of it.
Looks like teach was scoping for easy B&E drug snatches.
One would think taking the meds would be theft. Her estate should have demanded to see that law.
We had that happen as well the Coroner was arrested and found guilty of theft.
Many home health care workers have been charged as well. Drugs and jewelery are prob the #1 items on their list. Oxycontin at the end of the month cycle will sell for $30.00 a pill.
My thoughts too. My wife’s friend, as a cancer patient,, had some of the “good” stuff too, including morphine.
