as a young nurse, I took the code of not talking about peoples’ health problems in the hospital to heart....I didn’t even tell my mom that her sister was in the hospital on my ward,after having surgery....I just take it that seriously.
btw, Hippa is just a rouse.....its actually a permission slip for everybody in the insurance world and the medical world and even the legal world to get your private records...but don’t you dare ask about your own mother or father...verboten...
