Hospitals being sued
Seems to me the hospitals must not be very worried about being sued or they would require fluency in the English language as a pre-requisite for staff privileges. Secondly, any doctor who doesn't read what he signs pretty much deserves what he gets. Transcriptionists make mistakes....so do doctors. Thirdly, maybe hospitals should re-think how their work is contracted out. Far fewer problems when transcription was done in house.

I also tried debt settlement and I am now also being sued.

I spoke to a bankrupty lawyer and he said absolutely go for Chapter 7 but I guess I just wanted to here from somebody else who has been there. Thanks.

You DO definitely need legal counsel if being sued.

Freedom of speech... no you can not be sued.

PHYSICIAN SUED FOR DELIBERATE HIPPA VIOLATION

Anyone know what the penalties are for docs violating HIPPA? I know of a case where a person was damaged from a new nonsurgical cosmetic procedure and about to settle with a company to pay for the surgical repair. Prior to the settlement this patient saw a physician who sells these same nonsurgical services with a possible financial interest in the company. This physician filled the patient's face full of temporary cosmetic fillers to cover the damage and then WITHOUT THE PATIENT'S PERMISSION released the patient's records to the company and wrote a letter stating there was nothing wrong with the patient. The company subsequently canceled the pending deal to pay for the damages. The temporary fillers wore off and the damage returned and this patient is now suing the company AND ALSO the physician that released her records. This physician has caused an already traumatized patient much more stress (a subsequent long legal battle) from this HIPPA violation. What are the penalties? Any criminal charges?

Thanks!!!
