so the birth was in a hospital then?
Funny if true, but if true possibly also a HIPAA violation. Wouldnt want the doctor to get in trouble, should probably skip any o' them city folk inventions for the next 8 kids just to be safe.
~~Oof. Please don't make jokes that villainize HIPAA. We have few enough privacy laws, as it is.~~
HIPAA, applied properly, means her husband shouldn't have learned the details of her selected care, without her consent.
Edit: You were saying the same thing. I misunderstood.
What part of what i said villainized HIPAA?
Even if what you said is true, he just has to see the tweet for it to be a violation.
Data disclosure without authorization of the patient is a violation, and that doesn't matter who its disclosed to.
Source I work in medtech, i do yearly trainings on handling patient data, and its unlikely im related to any of them 😅
Edit: to clarify.. we are arguing about the doctor disclosing to the internet that this woman got an epidural, and whether or not that is a potential HIPAA violation right?

I missed that you meant if her doctor disclosed this. You're right. That's a wild HIPAA violation.
