I listed a random sampling of posts mostly from ER/OB and ICU type forums because I read those mostly. To any out there who posted, I am NOT judging any who posted below, I do the same.

While I agree that the facebook descriptions probably did go too far in such a small town, especially if she also lists on her page where she works, etc.; I do not agree that the above posts were in violation of HIPAA regulations. They did not say what hospital they worked in and they did not use any names. Maybe I'm dead wrong, and if so, please let me know so I don't make the same mistake.
