Guest guest Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 A podiatrist once removed my entire toenail.I asked to look at it, and he said " don't touch it, its got blood all over it. " Whose blood again? you can't make this stuff up.At least it was not a pointless hippa excuse. It was worse! Denied my own body parts and fluids.dbf Well yes, you can’t let the patient see what’s wrong with them. What were you thinking, really. Wow! HIPAA is such an excuse for everything.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Meanwhile my dad sent me his gallstone collection in a Godiva Chocolate box. I've got gallstones from about 30 people in there. So cool. He offered me his miscarriage collection but I could not fathom how to get it through the airport. Back in the days when you could bring your daughter to work in the morgue. Guess that doesn't happen anymore either. . . Everyone stay in your cubicle. It's for your own safety.
