I need advice from all of you that are more familiar with HIPPA than I am.
I just started my first clinical rotation and have a few questions.
How much about my patient can I say to my family? When they ask how my day went can I say "well, i had a 70yr old w/ pneumonia who was here on vacation, and ended up in the ER. It was really interesting cuase he had no breath sounds on the right and tons of crackles. And he had a really interesting scar from heart surgery."
Is that too much info? I like to be able to share my experiences with my family since they are supporting me through school.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
