"<yancyporter> Folks, please remember this, I am a Johnny Rebel at heart and will put up some info sometimes just to throw a curve ball to the competition. I did it before and I am about to do it again. I will explain why later but you can rest assure it is to mess up you know who</div><div>

HIPPA only applies to a doctor who has treated a patient (from a strictly MD side). There is no confidentiality if you tell a doctor something and he isn't your clinician. Also, HIPPA does not apply AT ALL to illegal acts. So if I am your doctor and I know that outside of our medical relationship you are cooking up meth I have no legal restrictions on that information. This is no where near the same thing as the confidentiality you have with a lawyer who can not disclose anything. HIPPA only applies to medical information within a clinical relationship.drt7891 said:this doctor could be in all kinds of trouble if he has first-hand knowledge. If this is just something he heard in the rumor mill, then I don't have a problem with him saying anything about this... but if he somehow has first-hand knowledge of this, couldn't he lose his license to practice if he is releasing confidential information from a patient or client... or even hinting about problems or whatnot? This is kind of serious...
