Unfit Health officials
« on: July 05, 2009, 06:08:47 AM »
My daughter went home & was sick with "common colds" (probably due to climate change).  Was released by the doctor due to inconclusive signs & symptoms for Swine Flu but "Health Officials" insisted that it was Swine Flu & my daughter was quarantined.  I understand their concern but  they can not divulge her identity,  especially that test are inconclusive.  According to HIPPA (Health Information Protection Portability Act) law that patient information can not be given out without patient consent.  In my opinion, that official is "IGNORANT",  "UNFIT TO BE HEALTH OFFICIAL", "HAS TOO MUCH IDLE TIME & DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO BUT CHITCHAT, or "NEEDS DATONG".

I am aware of this law being enforced in America but when it comes to viruses such as this that have no cure at first and are considered fatal I think with out a doubt that person must be publicly known as they are having such a serious enough infection to contaminate and possibly put others at a a risk of life.

Look at Aides victims mam did you complain about when they had to list and post their names for the public to know in his/her community where ever they are dwelling.

I think there is a limit as to what should be kept silent and if it is something that threatens the public it is okay to get it out in the open for all reasons to be number one that is to be cautioned that this person is very contagious to the point of life threatening.

If non threatening reasons for seeing the Dr. then of course it mut be kept in private patient Dr. confidentiality.

It is my opinion along with many others here.

FYI: AIDS or NOT, a patient information is confidential, & whoever violates this is punishable by law.   Whoever it is that you knew who have AIDS, it is his or her business not mine to complain about.  I am worried about contacting AIDS that's why I am careful as to whom I will have sex with, in any way.  Wouldn't you?  It is matter of choice.

My daughter went to the doctor because she was concern about being sick while pregnant.  She was released by that doctor due to lack of evidence that it was a case of Swine Flu.  There was NO POSITIVE lab result, but yet, that "health official" insist that it was.  Now, who's the doctor?  Health officials are to receive reports from the doctors & NOT to DIAGNOSE.   If he/she is really a "health official", he/she should maintain order & not public panic.  Get the facts first before letting out that purple tongue of yours.  We are in the age of advance technologies but yet some of us are still govern by backward attitudes.  I know how it is to live in this small town because I am still a Tagbilaranon by heart.

Believe me, I do understand all your concern but let's do it by the fact & not by rumors.  Show me a positive lab result.  A result that is legitimate & have not passed the hands of a "document doctor".

If it was really a case of Swine Flu, do you think that she would get better?  Or she could have been dead by now.  If it was, do you think that the people around her would be showing signs & symptoms during the period that they spent with my daughter?
Don't you know that Virus is hard to treat?  Once virus attacks your body, you can kiss the air goodbye.  I'm not just talking about common cold virus.  If you are a "health official" you know what I'm talking about.

Last & foremost, that "health official" didn't stick in his/her mind that "MAYBE" my daughter was having a hard time adjusting to the climate.  Didn't it occur in your pea brain that she is no longer accustomed to the environment?  Again, get the facts before spreading rumors.
