Yes, and I had written up s letter to give to the office manager but I think I'll just rip it up. Not because of her but because I think my husband and I don't need anymore hard feelings and drama. Especially st the OB office. It's a bummer that outbof all places on earth she had to work there. What luck.

On the same exact days I had OB appointments a mutual friend called to ask how we were doing and mentioned that the person said they saw us that day at the hospital. So I feel like she does tell people when I go for an appointment but I can't prove it. And again I don't know if that is necessarily a violation to say she saw me.

My husband did. I don't like her enough to tell her. Her husband was my husbands best friend.

Wow a lot of errors sorry. If asked I might still tell about the Facebook thing. I don't think I'll be asked though and I don't think I'll mention it. I just want to forgetbshe existsvanf enjoy my pregnancy. However if I hear one peep about my Medical information being violated I'll report her for sure.

I'll be honest, some people on my husbands family responded to our announcement as if I am a trashy person. It probably wasn't the best first impression and now I'm stuck with that for life. It's not like switching jobs and getting a clean start thus is going to follow me. And maybe it would always be that way anyway, and anyone who treats me like that because of the circumstance is probably somewhat me o wouldn't want to get close to anyway. I know this. But sometimes I wonder if things had unfolded differently my relationship with my husbands family may have been a bit better. It was really hard reading g the WTF comments. Because of this I really don't care if she got ruinefvat work in any kind of way.She obviously didn't give any consideration to how it made me look to my husbands family and co workers not the fact it put extra stress on me while pregnant, it's hard for me to work up and compassion hirbher or consideration to how her Or feddionsl life could be effected. Like I said, it's not as if I can get a second chance to make an impression or change jobs for a fresh start. This is literally how I was introduced to almost everyone he knows.

I go through moods where I feel I should drop it and there are moods in which I feel victimized and want her to have a consequence. I don't think she would have any professional consequences and I'm not sure in the end if I told her boss just to release my feelings if I would end up feeling more anxious about going there. There is also a survey they want me to fill out about my experience and patient care, it covers all topics. I could put my complaint there but at this point I'm really thinking of me and my husband and our comfort above getting back at her. I just think in the end it may get cause us even more ill feelings. My OB is one if the only and best MFM specialist in our area so I can't afford to switch offices.

True. I guess I know that on a professional level she knows what she did was morally wrong but also knows she can get away with it because the info was gotten personally not professionally. But morally, she knows what she got away with.

Congrats!! I am so happy for you! I'm 43.

I agree I want my pound of flesh. As far as ruining her professionally, if that happened it wouldn't be because of me. I didn't run her mouth for her, that was her own judgement and nastiness that did that.

True. My husband told them. And told them not to say anything.

This is very much true. And I think deep down I know this. There is no good way to retaliate against this violation of privacy. I just hope if any complications come up she doesn't repeat it to family or friends. At my age I don't take anything for granted and I really hate that she can access my information after what she did.

True. This is the reason I never said more. I just want to enjoy my pregnancy and not feel more anxiety than I already do at OB appointments. There is a god chance I could come off looking like a petty *******. I really hope if there are any complications or issues she doesn't get or spread that information. At my age there are no guarantees, I'm condidered an "elderly" pregnant woman. Although getting pregnant before marriage is not the neatest thing I ever saw, I've been divorced and already have older kids so I'm not virginal and protecting an innocent reputation. I just feel it was a cheap shot and she's was getting close to the line of HIPAA without crossing it. I guess until I found out she's done anything more I need to drop it and move on. I guess I feel like she got away with something. My husbands mother was really embarrassed and his dad didn't even know (parents are divorced). It was low.

No, I'm a pretty honest person. I will straight tell you what bothers me. My husband was going to call his side of the family individually to tell them about the baby. And I have a right, like every other pregnant lady to announce my pregnancy when I want to after I'm 3 mo along which is very common. Only she and her husband, my parents, and my husbands brother knew about the pregnancy. At 6 weeks I obviously wasn't showing and could have even had a miscarriage. It just wasn't her place. I'm sure everyone would have done the math at some point but that doesn't justify spreading medical information on social media. What if some testing I have turns out bad. Does she have the right to blab that too because eventually everyone will find out when the baby is born? In any case I've already been made to feel awkward around my husbands family I really don't want to feel even more awkward at every OB appointment so I am debating keeping it to myself specifically for that reason. So thingscarentvharder in my husband if the staff decided we are petty for saying anything. It's too bad she's in the position she's in.

Well for me I would t care if she took care of me just because we are friends so telling someone else that matters to me wouldn't be the truth. The truth is she's already blabbed personal medical information on social media and I don't want her to get any more information she can spread. I mean that's the real reason. Maybe the first situation is a wash because I wasn't at her clinic at that point in time but I certainly don't want her getting access to any other information of mine. If she had loose lips they should know.

I think that is why I haven't said anything to anyone other than I don't want her to be part of my care. My husband and I just got married because I became pregnant son it was already a sensitive situation. We had announced our marriage on social media and she hijacked it and told everyone we were also pregnant. I am AMA as it is and wanted to have all testing done and make it to 12 weeks before announcing. Like I said, she never really liked me and I think she saw an opportunity to create some embarrassment and did it. I think she felt she could get away with it. And technically since it's not a HIPAA violation I guess she can. But unofficially I can also tell the office manager and make her look bad like she did to us.

Really? Why not just say she blabbed my secret pregnancy on social media and that is how friends and family found out at 6 weeks along I am pregnant and now I don't trust her anymore. Why cover for her? If you were the office manager wouldn't you want to know the truth? Because after being embarrassed in social media infringe of 500 people I don't feel like I have anything to lose anymore.

It's a clinic in the hospital--- the OB clinic. So obviously if she tells someone she saw me there it could go either way. She either saw me randomly in the hospital or I had an appointment that day. She specifically handles OB but there are also Pediatrician there with family practice nurses, she however is particularly the OB nurse in the clinic. I switched to this clinic because it's much better and the hospital is much better than where I was going. The only drawback is blabber mouth works there. She wasn't actually much of a friend to me, she is the wife of one of my husbands friends and she never really liked me anyway.

We are no longer talking. But I just moved to the facility she works at to receive care. I let the office manager know I didn't want to receive care form her but didn't explain why. I can just let it go or next time I am in I can tell the office manager more details. But at the time I was receiving care at a different hospital. Now that I have switched over I don't want her in my business. I had a third party already mention to me that she said she had seen me at the hospital but that is all to my knowledge. I don't think it's a violation to mention seeing someone in the hospital is it? I was debating if I should leave the whole thing alone or to say something.

Thank you so much! I just figured since she was a nurse the concept of private medical information would be very familiar to her. I wasn't sure if spreading private medical information only applied if the patient was receiving care in the same facility. So she's off the hook on a technicality. One dude of me wants to complain to her boss because she knew we weren't telling anyone. But I guess she didn't do anything professionally wrong.

I wasn't sure if it was or not. If the pregnant patient was receiving care at the facility the nurse worked at it would be. But I guess if you spread private medical information about someone who isn't going to the facility you work at it doesn't count?

Thank you!!

That is what I thought. I'm the pregnant lady and another "friend". Announced my pregnancy via Facebook to all my husband and my friends. She's a nurse a knows better. But technically I didn't think it was a violation just a dick move. I wasn't totally sure though.

Even if the pregnant lady had not publically announced the pregnancy yet? She was6 weeks pregnant and the nurse announced to about 400 people via the persons Facebook page.

The situation: A nurse knows a friend is pregnant and outs the pregnancy on Facebook. The patient goes to a different hospital and doesn't receive care in the same facility the nurse works in. The information was obtained through the patient themselves but was expecting the nurse to keep the information private. is I still a violation of medical information/HIPPA violation if the patient doesn't recover care in the same facility the nurse works at?

I think it depends on the school you go to. My program was very competitive and less than half the class graduated. The material was accelerated and the clinical facilities were more of an "eat your young" rather than a teaching hospital mentality. My previous jobs and education were in finance and I found nursing school much more difficult.
