Backgroung info: I received a complaint from the Dept. of Health Profession from an anonymous person:) The anonymous person who is my ex-husband and his current wife. He and I were on good terms and he was having stomache issues he had several procedures (EGD, CT scans etc) He was asking advice about the results given to him and instead of asking about the results before talking with our 3 children(12-16 years old); he told them he had a mass on his pancreas and that the doctors were going to work him up for cancer. You can imagine what the children were feeling... He came to my work and asked me to look up the result of the test and explain them; also present was another nurse and a doctor. In retaliation for making him accountable for the very deliquent child support(3 years), in Dec. 06 a certified letter with this exact complaint as a threat was sent to me and nothing happened. I informed my boss and attorney at work of the threat. The child support enforcement is coming down on him so this time he actually filed the complaint as an anomymous person. The handwritten portion is his new wife and the typed portion is his original complaint. It is a disappointment to have to defend something that means so much to me. Question: Is it a HIPPA violation to confirm to our children their father does not have cancer, to elevaite their fears? and his attorney who in writing sent a letter to his creditors and courts justifying his delinquent bills and support payments? The original call to his attorney was to inform him of conflicting statements within the same document. Any suggestions?
