I get it about the HIPPA confidential laws. Seems to me, though, with the city being literally ripped to shreads , that Human Resources Reps would expedite this process just a little bit. It’s not like they have to stuff everything in a manilla envelope and mail it to, what..New Zealand for a thorough review.
As an aside, it is worth reminding folks here how HIPAA originated. Just remember “H” is for Hillary. HIPAA was the one part of HillaryCare she was able to get passed. It’s been modified since, but it started with HRC. Few seem to remember that.
