Today I got the scare of my life. I got a medical request to allow doctors from one program, who are moving to another program to see my health records. I am so happy that I studied in sign language about HIPPA rules that are really the law. The part that scared me was the #3 which said that the records for HIV or AIDS would be confidential. My treatment for HIV and AIDS would not be interrupted. Screech of tires.ERRRRRR! HOLD ON THERE. I have never been told that I had either illness or problem. Who had wrong information? What doctor diagnosed it? What in the HELL is going on! I explained to my husband that I have never been told that I had HIV/AIDS. I would have never married anyone if I had HIV.I would never want to do that to anyone. I did go to a meeting for people who had HIV/AIDS as an interpreter and was told that I had to a sign a list. Someone asked me when I was diagnosed, but when I mentioned that I was an interpreter for the hearing impaired, then he backed off. So I called the phone number given for "If you have any questions." Well, yes I did. Lots of them The person on the other end let me tell her my problem. She even let me read the letter to her. When I finished and got my blood pressure down, she began to explain that she knew or saw the letter that I was talking about. It was not written well but I could ignore, shred or whatever to the letter because it was a choice. This made my husband happy too! So we finished our day. And I repeat for those who read this wrong-I have NEVER HAD FIV OR AIDS. I am clean and plan to stay that way. So read your letter carefully, and call the recommended number if you have any questions. It may save you from a heart attack. Time to go. Love. Peace. NIghty night. |
