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.)

If you are Blind, people will violate HIPAA and FERPA all they like, and say, "But I was only trying to help! I meant well!" And when you complain to their supervisors? The same thing.

If they want to go to your Church, they will go to your Church, not your Medical Practice or your School! Yet, the Rural and Semi-Rural South still believes this is acceptable practice.

So glad we left.
