I was also wondering about "Emergency Powers." There's a lot of sneaky stuff in those rules. Edit: I'm an RN and former inpatient psych nurse. One day I found out that if a patient makes a threat against the President of the United States, the MD must report it to the FBI, who will arrive within the hour. No HIPAA protection in that case.
