~~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.
