Re: A rant and a pollFrom: GIN11153@aol.comSat May 20 17:31:32 2006
It's a HIPAA violation to have asked patient #2 to speak to patient #1 about calling for an appointment, unless patient #1 had put this gal's name down as a contact with permission to talk to her.. But, Patient #1 had no right to blow into a tirade like that, embarrassing the whole office. Document her tirade in her chart, as well as each attempt to reach her by phone and letter. Give her a handout with places for her sex partners to be treated-I would assume that with multiple positive chlamydia tests, she is either being cheated on or else she is cheating on the FOB, if she even knows who this is. If I were an MD, I'd consider mailing her a 30 day notice to find a new doctor-ask your med mal insurance company for advice on that issue, as she does soul like a problem patient, now and in the future.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
