On Police say Mercy policy might violate law, endanger victims

mercyRn: HIPPA is also covered when it comes down to child and elderly care/abuse... by reporting those cases, which are valid, is an escape clause for a medical professional to not be held liable for releasing information to authorities... it's no different than if a medical professional, such as youself, as it would be to report a potential domestic abuse case regarding ANY adult victim, much like children or the elderly... HIPPA is supposed to protect the privacy to ALL patients unless there is reasonable suspicion that abuse MAY have taken place... why should an adult that is being treated for injuries that could've been caused by abuse (and you know what to look for, seeing how you're the professional) be treated any differently when it comes down to his/her own safety than children or an elderly person being subject to any potential abusive situation?? what makes them different??

only further proof that Mercy is Merciless when it comes down to their overall care for those that NEED it... by not reporting a probable case of domestic violence, it not only jeopardizes the patient post care, resulting in more serious injuries, or even death... 20:1, there have been many cases to where a patient has been admitted to ER w/ massive head trauma and/or internal bleeding caused by domestic violence resulting in death, only to not be reported to the people that should take action on the incident...

intreguing, if you think about it... completely different circumstances, but looking to prayer/positive religious dieties to aid in rectifying an ailment... not the first time someone's been charged in this matter.... twisted example, but look @ the concept behind the exorcism of Emily Rose... in opposition to taking medical advice from the professionals, the parents turned to their local priest to "cure" their daughter...

I'm not in disagreeance that Rotary isn't a beautiful garden, and is aiding the community when it comes down to seasonal harvests such as this... just disappointed that the commitee has chosen to go against the original founder's wish and charging for admission to this originally free community garden... especially seeing how we're a family of 6+...
