the look of surprise some people get when they find out that their vape being flavored means other people can smell it loud and clear

[moodycarcass]

goddamn almost every surrounding town got hit like a motherfucker by the hurricane i thought we had it bad w getting the power knocked for a whole day

[bringbackgoth]

was trying to go to bed when my room was filled with red and blue lights. Two cop cars had pulled over someone across the street from my bedroom so I went out to observe. They detained/arrested the driver and then went back to grill the passenger.

I had enough, it was near 1am so I yelled to her to stop talking and get a lawyer, I yelled that they had to provide her a lawyer if she couldn't afford one.

The police started yelling at me about 'obstruction' and other bullshit LMFAO, they KNEW they were fucking lying. One of the PO started to walk up on my porch so I made sure to tell him he was a bad person and I knew my rights and he better not come up on my property, smdh. He turned around real quick.

He also told me way more info than I cared to know about. I don't give a shit if she's the girlfriend of the driver, I just want her to shut up and get to safety.

'We're trying to help her find a-' stop. Nobody asked. Leave her alone.

They didn't stick around too much longer but jesus fucking christ, what a fucking nightmare. Hopefully I can NOW get to bed.

I think it should be legal to kill obnoxious neighbors

[gammaraydeath]

this whole situation with my upstairs neighbors is making me sick with anxiety. management is on my side and they wouldn't be if they weren't doing something wrong you know. they've been here longer than me and have a kid and if management still wants to side with me after showing them the evidence of the noise and even suspected abuse then i shouldn't feel so bad but i do. im not trying to get a family evicted i just want quiet enjoyment of my apartment. take the kid outside to burn off energy and kick the asshole man out you know? i'm ok with some noise but it's just crazy what i have to deal with

3 Common Misconception: HIPAA Edition

(aka I have HIPAA tattooed under my eyelids and I want to make it everyone else’s problem)

This is pedantic, but the act protecting your health information is HIPAA, not HIPPA. One ‘p’, two ‘a’s. HIPAA stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, not the oft-quoted (and non-existent) Health Information Privacy & Protection Act. Not a huge deal, since it protects your health information regardless, but it’s a pretty decent metric to mark if someone actually knows what they’re talking about.

HIPAA protects you from employees of healthcare organizations sharing your information without your consent.  HIPAA violations occur when someone who has access to your medical information *as part of their job* either a) purposely accesses information outside of their job requirements b) shares your health information without your consent or c) puts health information in a position where it can be improperly accessed by others, purposefully or not. You can shout your medical information to the hills. People who you've told your medical information to can shout it to the hills, so long as they didn’t get that information through their job. People can demand that you share your information--but your doctor can’t hand it over without your consent.

Exceptions to HIPAA exist. There's quite a few of them, actually, and I’ve made a detailed list below the cut; but to correct the biggest misconception: yes, there are situations where health care employees are required to share your information with the government. This typically falls under mandatory reporting (think child abuse, gunshot wounds, or highly infectious diseases), but your information can also be accessed via warrant or subpoena for criminal proceedings.

Here is the government’s webpage breaking down the HIPAA Privacy Rule if you want to know more! I love love love HIPAA and will gladly talk about it for as long as anyone will let me (hence the cut below).

Detailed breakdown of HIPAA exceptions under the cut:

TPO: This stands for Treatment, Payment and Operations, because if your health info was on complete lockdown, no healthcare entity could function. Employees can access/share your info when that info is necessary for them to...

Provide treatment (ie: your nurse can share your info with your doctor)

 Receive payment (ie: giving your info to your insurance company)

Maintain operations (ie: health data/medical records staff. This is me--as a health systems analyst, I can’t do my job without access to the data within the medical records system)

Public Interest: ie: when required by law/governmental function. This includes:

Mandatory reporting (discussed above. Healthcare professionals are required to report infectious diseases like measles or rabies, as well as incidents like gunshot wounds or domestic violence.)

Health oversight activities. These are the organizations who evaluate and investigate whether a facility meets safety/performance regulations and standards. Trust me, you want your info shared with these folks!! 

 Law Enforcement. I’m going to be really specific here, because there’s been a lot of (justifiable) concern post-Roe v Wade. Your info can be shared if it is is…

Subpoenaed, court ordered, or court-ordered warrant by a court, judge, or administrative tribunal

 Requested by law enforcement to id a suspect, fugitive, witness, or missing person

 Requested by law enforcement for info about a victim/suspected victim of crime

 To alert law enforcement of a person’s death if the organization believes a crime has occurred

If the healthcare organization believes the information is evidence of a crime that occurred on its premises.

In emergency situations, providers can share information about the nature of a crime, the location of crime/victims, and the perpetrator of the crime.

Decedents: Funeral directors, coroners, and medical examiners all need your info to do their jobs, Being deceased, you can’t give your authorization, so an healthcare org sharing your info with them is not a HIPAA violation

Organ/Eye/Tissue donation: pretty self-explanatory. Some of your information as a donor might be shared to ensure a healthy transplant.  

Research (limited data sets): This one tends to freak people out, but if you’re on one of these, anything that can identify you is removed (name, address, etc.). Instead, details of specific conditions/treatments are stored to provide data for researchers. For example, every state has, by law, a cancer registry--used to identify sudden spikes that might be attributable to environmental factors.

Serious threats to health/safety. If a serious, specific threat is made against a person or the public, this can be shared with law enforcement and the person who the threat is made against. There’s a lot of grey area here in what counts as a specific threat, and this can get complicated quickly, but if someone tells a medical professional that they are planning on harming you, you will be notified alongside law enforcement. Likewise for a bomb or other public threat.

Essential government functions. If you are in prison or other correctional facility, you are not protected by HIPAA. Some government benefit programs will require the disclosure of health information. (It also includes national security and military missions).

And last, but not least: worker’s compensation. Healthcare orgs have to share parts of your information for you to receive worker’s comp, as part of the verification process. Fantastic!

got catcalled getting off my building’s elevator in my pajamas on my way to do laundry tonight

[all-that-jazz-93]

Building management caught me with an unauthorized dog in the building, so I had to give Maggie up. She's staying with my best friend now, and in need of a forever home.

I gotta disagree with Ted Lasso on this one: it really is the hope that kills you.

If I had known without a shadow of a doubt that this was a temporary thing, it wouldn't hurt so much to give her up. It would've been like any other dogsit. But I went into this foster arrangement knowing that her owner might not be able to take her back, and really believing that she could end up being mine. And that's why it hurts so much to have to give her up.
