who knows what “HIPPA” stands for ? (no googling it before)
September 28, 2014 8:49 pm at 8:49 pm #1033434akupermaParticipantIts a federal statute (United States) governing, among other things, privacy. It prevents sharing of medical records and importantly for families, makes it illegal for a doctor to discuss a child’s medical problems once the child is eighteen (though there is a way around it).

Just saying.

September 29, 2014 6:46 pm at 6:46 pm #1033440☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantWell, how was he supposed to know without Google?
September 29, 2014 6:51 pm at 6:51 pm #1033441akupermaParticipantMost people pronounce it “Hip-Pa” regardless of its official name or actual acronym.
September 29, 2014 9:02 pm at 9:02 pm #1033442takahmamashParticipantI knew – I used to work in a hospital.
