"OK Good, can HIPPA allow for names and contact numbers of patients to be released by their doctor ???"
Yes, in a clinical environment, in accordance to HIPPA policy. Medical professionals and organizations, laboratories etc. share patient information all the time. This is how research is done. Does it make any sense to say a doctor can only talk about patient outcomes but can never provide an actual patient or patient data?
"Oh, she's religiulous and christian (not muslim or other) - OK lets bash her on that and censor the rest."
Claiming any Deity will shut down Facebook to avenge you will be met with the same amount of criticism. Why on earth would anyone defend the logic that any God of any religion will shut down Facebook because they removed some posts? Add sex with demons and reptile government leaders and we start stacking some odd statements that either mean this one doctor knows more about a well-documented medical condition, or all other doctors are wrong.
"I knew around then of people who my mom knew had been treated and reversed the infection."
I'm not contesting that. I am saying that knowing someone who knows someone isn't going to meet clinical standards, peer-review, or even get close to any form of assurance for large scale implementation. People can't claim Hydroxychloroquine is a "proven cure" based off of that type of information. At most it worked for some people you know. That's it, don't try to make it more than that.
"So My wife and son go to a chiropractor - and do I have to wonder why ?"
Typically with a child you do have rights to their medical information as the child can not enter into a binding contract, and you have parental rights. Exceptions exist such as a pregnant minor. As for your wife you can authorize organizations to share your medical history, but she can also request her treatment not be shared. You can not go in and ask for my medical history.
"In any case the doctor and the front desk just say - sorry we cant tell you about other people."
That may be their process, but HIPPA does not require that.
"The front desk people at this chain isn't a medical anything, just regular high school grads."
HIPPA applies to the medical license in operation, not the staff by medical credential. All employees, representatives or volunteers still have to follow HIPPA policy no matter their personal qualifications.
