common sense tells me that you came across PUBLIC information on the internet highway and your doctor has a right to see public information WITHOUT a freaking signed consent form. another way to think of it: this is kind of like the thief who steals tires and then goes back to the tire dealership where he stole them cuz he stole the wrong size -- i.e., wants the "good guy" to do the "right thing" because he, the "bad guy" is "entitled" to this. give me a break. put your story on the 6 o'clock news and don't even give it a second thought. BTW, I am fully aware that the overly sensitive (to the criminals and their "rights") will twist this logical thinking around. go ahead - make your own day.

Convicted felon wants drugs
How's this....I just wrote a report where I had to look up the patient's name on Google for spelling purposes and found a document from within the year stating that he was appealing (and lost) his conviction on four counts of obtaining illegal prescription narcotics. At the end of the report, the doctor states that the patient went back to his primary care physician stating that THIS doctor said he could have Dilaudid for two weeks. My doctor then stated that he did not feel comfortable treating this patient. Question: Should I tell my boss or this doctor about the patient's recent record? (And now he is, again, trying to obtain illegal drugs.) Or does this violate the privacy rules? Are illegal activities subject to the privacy rules? I know counselors always warn patients that they have to report any illegal activities should they disclose such. Now please don't slam me. It has been a long day and maybe the answer is obvious and I am just brain dead for the day.
having done a plethora of reports on the subject - there is a way out - become a felon - free medic

Not wanting a convicted felon = perfection required? Sweet, I must be perfect then.
