I am an ultrasound tech and one of the conditions I rarely treat is those ugly green veins on a woman's breasts. Last November, I was contacted by Sam's agency for an appointment. She wanted to know if I can treat her voluptuous breasts, half of them covered with green veins. Due to her age, she is over 55 and sensitive skin associated with breasts, Plastic surgeons refused to treat her with either endovenous laser therapy or radiofrequency ablation,. I told her I can do an ultrasound massage with gel of a higher viscosity and the results could be less than expectations.
Sam agreed and we had 6 sessions and a good part of her breasts got clear and normal. I could have worked on the rest of the area but she had engagements. When she asked how much she owes me, I said it is complimentary and on me due to her star status. She made couple of phone calls about paying me and I just kept saying it is on me. Last time she called, she invited me to her house for a nice home cooked dinner. She is a good cook. Her idea of a dinner for me was more than the dinner. Although she is over 55, she still has lot of fire in her.
is it right for a medical practitioner to be discussing medical treatments on an open board?
I mean, if an escort I saw was a proctologist on the side, and she treated my hemorrhoids (I'm not saying that I necessarily have hemorrhoids, mind you.) I think my ass would be a bit out of joint, so to speak.
I want to say I've seen sillier HIPA violations than this... and I'm sure they exist, but, bragging on a fuckboard about banging a patient after treating her just might take the cake.
HIPAA?? What an egregious violation. And on top of that, you insult her! Shame on you, I hope you are reported by this provider and lose your job and whatever bullshit license/certificate you hold. Jfc.
And if he provided the service as a favor without any paperwork (for billing OR for HIPAA or anything else), (a) there is no record at all and, in particular, (b) there is no signed HIPAA agreement.

Re: This is a real question: Can it be a HIPAA violation if you don't use someone's real name? And you're an anonymous handle on a fuck board?
Sometimes, it can be hard to get agreement on or with HIPAA.
Of course it’s a violation. The number one PHI (protected health information) indicator is names including alias’s. Furthermore, all procedures that could be specific to a patient (like this moron’s grossly in-depth description of what her procedure was) are 100% PHI indicators. Healthcare workers have been crucified for much less than this violation.
Also, this clown gave so much information and description, if we really wanted to we could probably figure out who he is.
Wait what? You do not have to sign to agree to HIPAA. This is a federal act/law. By default, it is in affect. There is no agreement that needs to be signed. It doesn't matter if the service was free. The law protects sensitive health information from being disclosed. Period. Doesn't matter if it's not her real name. This is not like a Jane Doe name where you have no idea who the person is. This is a stage name where people know who she is, and can easily find out if they don't know.
You don't sign a HIPAA agreement, it's law. You may sign a waiver for a procedure, which protects the doctors, not you, but you are never in a position where you have to sign up for HIPAA protections.
Whoops! To Zeel and Justsauce: Every time I visit a health care office (medical, dental, optical) they make me sign a HIPAA form or they won't treat me or provide service. Now that you made me think about it, I guess I am signing away permission for the practice I am visiting to share info with other specific entities: insurance, another doctor, and so. I am approving EXCEPTIONS to HIPAA. My bad. . On the other hand, if there is no record of service (using the facilities after hours; no computer entries; no billing; etc.) is there plausable deniability to claim that OPs story is completely made up and the activities never took place?

It is possible that he he asked her if he could post about this before he actually did. That was my first assumption when reading. I’ll be struggling to get my head round this if he hasn’t….
And let's also not forget, let's not forget, Dude, that keeping wildlife, uh, an amphibious rodent, for uh, you know, domestic, within the city... that ain't legal either.
