Yet another reason to hate HIPPA. doctorx October 6 2004, 11:18:22 UTC

HIPPA is this horrible, stupid law they passed about a year ago (stands for Health Information Privacy and Portability Act) that I already hated because it requires everyone who works with people's medical infomation to become "HIPPA certified," so it brought the work at my job to a standstill while everyone had to take this dreadfully boring week-long course on it. The point of which being to get this little certificate that says that I got the message that I could get up to 10 years AND fined up to $200,000 (Or "Infinity plus one" in Australian Dollars.) for discussing a prescription customer's personal information.

So, if you wondered why I posted yesterday that I needed to talk to you but didn't give any details as to why, this damned, stupid law and this particular journal entry of yours just MIGHT have something to do with it.
