Wow, dont know what to say
Just curious what you guys would do.
Monday I had a mole removed by my primary doctor. Yesterday we were out of town all day and some friends of ours wanted us to pick up some cupcakes while we were there, so we did (OMG, side tracking for a second but it is from this cupcake place that only sells cupcakes... I was thinking 'oh come on... cupcakes? how can cupcakes be THAT good?' We bought some for ourselves and OMG HEAVEN!! SOooo yummy) Anyways... so on the way back home we call our friends and ask if they want the cupcakes then or wait till the next day. They say they are at my PCP's house (they are friends with him and I knew this) and so to just do it on the way home. THEN our friends ask how my hand is doing.... So I didnt tell them that I was even planning on having it removed. They could have only found out because my PCP told them he saw me and took the mole off. Talk about breach of confidentiality. I am a nurse and could be fired for doing something like that. Now I dont plan to get him in trouble because I like him and he meant no harm and I dont care that my friends now know, but it is still a serious serious matter. What would you do? I am still unclear how I should let him know that it wasnt ok etc... |

Wow, that is a tricky situation. I'm not really sure how I would handle that.

I would be royally po'd! I can't even believe he did that! I don't care if they know you or not he had no right and I'd be letting him know. Kinda makes you wonder how much other stuff he doesn't keep to himself.

Honestly? I wouldn't make much of it. I don't think real harm was done.

That would make me very mad and I would definitely say something next time I went in ... or maybe even call before my next appt. It's completely inappropriate.

It may seem harmless because they are your friends. But my mom is in the medical field and I can tell you...you need to make a big deal out of it. That is a MAJOR breach of confidentiality. I would call and schedule and appointment to speak with him ASAP. Considering he should know the law, he should know just how big of a deal you could make of this! I would speak to him and let him know that is never okay with you. I would make note of the day and time and of any important things that happened in the converstaion. Just in case it should happen again.

I sometimes act hastily in the heat of the moment, BUT.. KIM...
OMG.. You absolutely HAVE to say something, that is agains HIPPAA violation. That is SOOO unprofessional, and RUDE. I dont know that I would switch Dr's, if you really like him, because once you confront him, Im sure he will be more careful then EVER, because he will know that his little slip up could cost him his job. But WOW, im mad for you!

I agree. As much as it's a "no harm done" kinda thing, it's still a HUGE deal. You definitely need to talk to him about it.

Honestly, I'd fire him as my doctor. For me it wouldn't matter what the circumstance was, it's simply unacceptable for any medical professional to share my information with anyone for any reason. He may not have meant harm, but he did breach a major tenet of medical professionals everywhere.
Also, I think the bigger question is, if he's done this to you, who else is he sharing information about, and with whom?? Let him know how this disturbed you, Kim. He needs to know. |
