Hip, hip hurray for hipaa.

   Ever since a person I know posted from the ER at the local hospital, I check that site occasionally, nothing else to do. It doesn't seem wise to alert the world when you are away from home, and sick besides, but people do, regularly. Not only do they post their whereabouts, they describe what's wrong with them. Some post pictures of their wounds and agonies. Sometimes the pictures are so graphic that they are covered with a warning, to uncover if you wish. And today, yes,it happened; a woman posted that she was undergoing a colonoscopy. No pictures though, as yet.
