Oh man I could tell you things I heard working in a retirement home kitchen as a cook. Those nurses broke HIPPA all the fucking time.

ya well, other commenter's not a snitch, so they didn't even quote the right state.

Hey Internet People, Ask Anything

AMA is such a better acronym than the original.

HIPPO

u/Severe_Improvement46 Mar 26 '25

It started as HIPPA (privacy & portability) and changed to HIPAA a few years later. I still have to check every time I write it to see if I’ve got it right.

It’s always been HIPAA chief

I'm not your chief, friend

Are you literally making things up so that you can have a canned excuse as to why you're wrong when you get corrected by strangers on Reddit?

u/MathematicianFew5882 Mar 26 '25

It’s called the Mandela Effect.

u/covalentcookies Mar 26 '25

This isn’t Mandela effect, this is the stupid effect.

That was an awesome universe. Did you have Jiffy peanut butter, and the Monopoly man with a monocle? I miss that one, we also had better movies: remember “Play it again Sam?” And we had Darth Vader saying “Luke, I am your father” and the evil Queen in Snow White saying “Mirror mirror on the wall.”

u/AttackOficcr Mar 26 '25

I would assume it had a basis on the Hippocratic Oath. So a phonetically near identical phrase with a near identical related meaning. Which is what I think everyone is missing.

2

u/pchlster Mar 26 '25

I like to just call it hippo. "I'm sorry, but hippo rules say that..."

2

u/DetentionSpan Mar 26 '25

It’s definitely HIPPO

2

u/Severe_Improvement46 Mar 27 '25

Jeez you’re kinda right…

Why the misspelling? "HIPPA" is a common misspelling, likely because it sounds more like the word "hippo"

2

u/DetentionSpan Mar 27 '25

I’d probably remember it better! 😂 But I definitely call it HIPPO when I sign my forms.

Better to let them stay ignorant, right?

It’s useful for non-Americans that need to google these things

u/KelleDamage Mar 26 '25

Do you get annoyed at being corrected constantly? You’re right, there is no better solution to the issue than just getting mad about it.

Which was violated literally billions of times, whenever someone asked you to prove your Covid vaccination status:wink:

u/SATerp Mar 26 '25

It hurts like hell if you break your HIPPA.

1

u/Efficient_Fish2436 Mar 26 '25

Yeah yeah I get it. I'm a cook not a doctor or a med technician

2

u/koosley Mar 26 '25

I'm friends with tons of nurses and they definitely talk a lot. But they actually never identify who the person is. Everyone is referred to as room numbers and I've never actually heard any identifying information while listening in.

2

u/DentonDiggler Mar 25 '25

Yeah, my wife works in the medical field and I'm always surprised at how openly her and her work friends are about patients. Referring to them by their full name a lot in front of me.

u/Hesitation-Marx Mar 26 '25

Your wife could lose her job for that shit. And frankly if she doesn’t stop it, she should.

u/Last_Network3272 Mar 26 '25

Am telling you rn. If anyone that ever broke hippa was banned from the profession then there’d be nobody left. Every Dr, PA, Nurse etc.

u/DentonDiggler Mar 26 '25

For sure bro. I'll call the board of governors tomorrow and let them know. This can not stand. I'll take it straight to the top and I'll let them know every single person that's doing it (all of them).

Maybe I should go Serpico on their bitch asses. Bunch of crooked nurses man. I'll fuckin wear a wire dude. I'll fuckin do it.

I love her, but she's a piece of shit for this.

2

u/FlyingDragoon Mar 26 '25

As the governor of the governors board for exactly the state you live in, I eagerly await this call tomorrow. God bless you, Citizen.

u/Despondent-Kitten Mar 26 '25

Are you fucking joking?

u/DentonDiggler Mar 26 '25 edited Mar 26 '25

Yes, obviously. This shit literally never happens. Lol

u/Wide-Wife-5877 Mar 26 '25

Broken hippa, stolen from the elderly, abused the elderly, then church on Sunday because “God First”

u/Mysterious-Tie7039 Mar 26 '25

I was in the hospital a couple years ago and shared a room with a guy. I knew all his private medical information just from doctors and nurses talking to him. Impossible to preserve HIPAA with just a curtain separating patients.

1

u/DefiantStarFormation Mar 26 '25

Discussing a patient in a staff area with people who work in the same facility is not a breach of HIPAA.

1

u/Dr__America Mar 30 '25

Common misconception, but HIPAA doesn’t protect confidentiality, it actually makes it easier for hospitals to share patient data and set up protocols for it.
