conversation snippet
This week we finally got some routine legal documents in order. Snippet from today's review meeting:
Me: Just out of curiosity, this place in the boilerplate where you cite [a particular act], don't you have the name wrong? It doesn't really matter, I don't think, because this is in a section heading and you have it right down in the legally-binding paragraphs below, but just checking...?
Lawyer: I never noticed that bug in our template before.
Me: My work here is done. :-)
My professional training follows me everywhere, I tell you!
(Medical power-of-attorney, and it's HIPAA, not HIPPA.)

The HIPAA stuff we were doing was to grant permission lest important medical records be withheld from the person with power of attorney to make decisions. I already had a durable power of attorney and living will, but the document predated HIPAA.
