Peeking people have called me Shorty. However entire tattoo is "Shorty's Bar and Grill, Chattanooga Tennessee".
That's pretty awesome. Way to edit the OP.
lolGuys, stop going off topic, we are suppose to be talking about the HIPAA violation here, who cares about the crotch shot.
He won't on purpose, but his new octave higher voice might give him away.
No hippa violation here. No patient identity has been revealed.
If the person or a friend found the post and recognized who it was that was being talked about, and brought it to the attention of the hospital, I'm guessing OP would be fired instantly. The goal is to avoid the appearance of impropriety, especially on something like that. Not saying I agree with it, but I've seen it happen before.
Best advice is to change a story a bit and quote "a friend" who had that happen in another city. Companies can fire for any reason here. Whether or not any law or regulation is broken is irrelevant. Posting about a patient and making fun of them probably isn't a good idea though. I'm sure OP did all of that and he's being bashed for no reason though
We get yearly training about what we can and can't post about hospital stories on social media via HIPAA and corporate policy, and I followed the directions to the letter.
Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "crotch shot." <snicker>
we do too, but telling that to a family screaming at an administrator probably will lead to a change in the policy after they make an example out of you. Telling the family that the letter of the policy was followed may not be enough.
Don't get me wrong, I love sharing stories of the crap we see. Just hate to see bad things happen to good people for laughing at the bad things bad people do
