No one, that is, again, NO ONE is allowed to reveal the medical condition of any one. It is illegal. Investigate this and someone has to pay.
Yeah. HIPPA. I can't ask questions about my wife, and the same goes for her. You get stupid messages on the answering machine that say things like:
"Someone at this address has an appointment for an undisclosed reason at an institution that cannot be named in a department that we cannot share with a professional person whose identity we cannot reveal."
And the funny thing is...the Libs were instrumental in getting this typically well intentioned pain-in-the-ass legislation passed to protect innocent people from evil conservatives who will bend, spindle, fold and mutilate their medical information to somehow improve their bottom line.
Can you say "Hoisted on your own petard"?
Knew you could...:)
