Because HIPPA and Patient Confidentiality is of utmost importance to me I will not be using the following:
- Patient Names
- Patient Ages
- Patient Identification Numbers
- Photos of Patients or Staff
- Hospital,Medical Or Health System's Names/Cities where they are located
- Any Other Privileged information
Got any further disclaimers to make?
How kind of you to ask!

This blog is not intended to be used for, and the author of this blog will not give, advice on medical matters. If you have a problem, see a professional instead of some schmo on the Internet. If you don't like things that are tongue-in-cheek, you should go somewhere much more earnest.

Likewise, if I manage to make a real howler either in spelling or information, tell me. That means that everything that I get wrong is my own fault, while everything that turns out okay is entirely due to the goodwill and grace of other people.
