It sounds like they were referring to their oldest child's wife not being allowed to look up family records she has access to through her job, as you say they likely require them to go through the formal process.

It will be airing on one news station soon

What about locL news? The paper? Put them on blast!

For everyone that wants to see that she’s tried all sorts of avenues before social media. She’s got updates on here. I will also be posting the photos that are within the videostried everything else

You’d be surprised how often it is violated in workplaces. Daily, several times.

She’s tried all avenues. Bringing to social media was the last resort. This wouldn’t be here if it was actually getting handled

Lmao tiktok is a profoundly dumb way to do this. File a complaint with the police. HIPAA is law.

Well, there was the North Pond Hermit who lived in the woods for 20+ years up in the Belgrade Lakes. He would break into camps when people were away and take canned food and batteries and books.

Tell the hospital that 😂 that’s what they told her

HIPAA does not protect employee records.

You've yet to hear a compelling case for it because you don't listen to anything and you shun anything that goes against your beliefs. You're a shut in bigot, pathetic

>My understanding is that handling of health information is entirely in civil law.

HIPAA is not the only law covering the release of prohibited (non-public) records. HIPAA is federal. State law appears more at issue, particularly device access. Some prosecutor's offices will pursue; others, not so much.

Please show me in the below statute where this is qualifies as violation of privacy:

Also what "device access laws" are you referring to? Or is this going to be another exercise in reminding you how poor your understanding of the law is?

They won’t share the other two peoples names because… HIPAA…

Colonization pour la victoire!

Are those the two that aren't outwardly connected to your "friend's" ex?

While HIPAA does not allow private lawsuits against the health provider there is no prohibition against pursuing damages for violations of privacy or device access laws (these are not part of HIPPA).

> A number of agencies, state and federal, have an "Office of Civil Rights," but I'm not sure what civil right would be involved.

HHS Civil Rights. Sorry--I should have clarified that.

> Releasing medical info to members of the public as alleged appears more of a criminal act subject to investigation/prosecution but the county DA or the state AG's offices.

Is there a statute supporting that? My understanding is that handling of health information is entirely in civil law.

Of course it’s disgusting they haven’t been yet

Do you want the other two fired?

>Your friend should file a claim with the Office of Civil Rights.

A number of agencies, state and federal, have an "Office of Civil Rights," but I'm not sure what civil right would be involved. Releasing medical info to members of the public as alleged appears more of a criminal act subject to investigation/prosecution but the county DA or the state AG's offices.

You actually can't sue for HIPAA breaches. HIPAA states that you have to file a complaint with the HHS Office of Civil Rights and they access if a HIPAA breach occurred and they will fine the health care entity if they determine it happened.

The person with the TikTok said she has been to several lawyers and they have all turned her down.

Given the allegations within the post, this is a matter which should be referred to the DA's office with jurisdiction over the hospital or where your "friend" resides. If in 2 separate counties, send to both county DA's plus the state AG's office.

Two of the four were let go as far as we’ve been notified but you need to understand this is ongoing since 2021 and they JUST got fired
