As she has no direct involvement with McConnell in the ICU, she is just talking in generalities and statistics. So no, I don' t think this involves HIPAA at all.
I'm sure you remember 2021-2023. A giant amnesia swept the land and people uniformly behaved as though HIPAA never existed. Considering how in prior years HIPPA regulations were pounded into people's minds, with HR departments regularly foisting privacy training on employees for example, the sudden and complete evasion was astonishing to witness.
I was hiring an aerobics instructor in the early 2000's for a city recreation center, and she was pretty visibly pregnant. I was not allowed to ask if she is, not allowed to ask if she would be taking time off, how much, whether she was planning to come back afterwards, or even if she is able to perform the duties of the job at this moment in time of her pregnancy.
Needless to say she got hired (there were 3 of us on the hiring team, and I was outvoted because I couldn't "assume" she was pregnant and have it fall into my reasoning), she barely worked 3 months, I had to find countless subs when she couldn't come in. Three hired her, but I was her manager. City politics. She eventually took off to have her baby, got paid, came back of the week or whatever to justify getting paid, then quit.
It was delightful. Anyhow, yeah. But then suddenly, 15 years later, it's OK to hire and fire based on whether someone put a poison into their bodies.
Unless you wanted to help someone in your family, at which point HIPAA zealosy fueled the med-men power trips.
HIPPA is not longer valid, the hospitals are sharing our information with third parties with those medical Apps and AI and computers. Do you think after all these governments are mandating these creep doctors to use computers and Apps and write all our information via networks our info is not going to be shared? That’s why I don’t have any app from medical industry. They (doctors) tell you is mandated by the government, it is all lies. The government is the corporations just that the government uses that title instead of corporations Governments= Corporations= 13 families, If you know what I mean.
