I’m reminded of the stupidity of HIPAA today, as I walked into a nurses’ station where all the medical charts are, dressed in a tie and slacks (no white coat or name badge) and no one asked me a thing.

Dressed appropriately, you could do this in any hospital in the United States and no one would question a thing.

HIPAA does not protect anyone’s privacy, it just makes a paperwork hassle for you and your doctors.
