by NickiLaughs Jan 14So if a staff member comes in as a patient, and it's a DUI for example. And it became obvious and they told us they started their "desired drug" on shift, how does that work? I know it's reported to DMV by docs, they lose their driving license. But as far as them being a staff member there. Would HIPPA protect them from any trouble with their job? I'm just curious, I've seen this situation a couple times, but never know the exact outcomes and I've always wondered.

5:07 pm by sandyfeetWouldn't the BON find out about how they lost their driver's license? I haven't had to renew my license yet, but was told by others that in CA you have to report all traffic violations (speeding tickets, etc). Could the BON then restrict their license based on the nature of the violation? Would their employer then find out?
