Guest guest Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 >There is no such thing as a work around when it comes to a person's right to privacy. As professionals, Public Safety individuals are trained to take precautions. >Alerting your responders doesnt protect them from a bloodborne pathogen, only they can protect themselves by using their training and tools they have available to them.< That pretty well says it all. I can think of very few, if any, circumstances where it would be necessary to " air " medical information that would be deemed confidential.. and much medical information is confidential. Again... " only they can protect themselves " ... Nothing you can " air " will do that. Weintraut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
