I work in a hospital ER in NJ. In this last week alone there have been four deaths from Covid in the ER I work in but I didn’t know their names. I don’t have access to that information, it’s not in the scope of what my job is to know names in particular. Privacy laws called ‘’HIPPA’’ regulations come into play and you can get in big trouble releasing patients names and other personal information. I can tell you that of the four deaths three were elderly people, who had under lying conditions and the fourth was a middle-aged African American male. That one was particularly sad. The Poor guy left behind a wife and four kids.
Privacy laws called ‘’HIPPA’’
It’s actually HIPAA, but working in a hospital, as you do, you must’ve mis-typed.
