I knew a lady who escaped to the west from communist Poland. She would never allow her kids to participate in show and tell at school for exactly that reason.

Was she in hospice? When my FIL was in hospice at home, the company provided all the morphine and valium. A dosage log was kept and they retrieved both the unused medication and the dosage log when he passed. Perhaps that’s what was happening here.

HIPPA applies to medical providers and their vendors. As written it wouldn’t help because the school would fall between those definitions. However there are state privacy laws this would run across. Trouble is the data was provided voluntarily.
