Medical Records - Why Privacy Is Good, But Can Be A Pain
Granny comes to visit from out of town. While enjoying some delicious iced tea on your porch, she has chest pains and asks you to call 911. The ambulance driver / EMT asks you whether Granny is on any heart medication. You search her purse, and find only a business card for her local pharmacy. So you call – “Hello, I am Mrs. Jones’ granddaughter, it’s an emergency, and I need to know whether Granny is on any heart medicatiion.”
Response: “We can’t disclose that to you Ma’am. We are sorry.”
