Dearest Health Care Professionals,
Please, please, please always error on the side of your patient when it comes to Patient Rights and Patient Confidentiality.
Never assume. Never ever assume that because some one is in the company of a patient, that that some one knows what the patient is going through on a 100% scenario. Maybe there are some thing's so ugly and hideous going on that the patient feels obliged to protect. My Right.
I share this message to the Health Care Professional quietly out loud.
Patient confidentiality is something that each and every one of you are required to obey and respect. You receive annual classes and in-services on the importance of Patient Rights and Patient Confidentiality. I know this and you see, for me, this is a "trust thing", some of you won't understand, but trust in my life and on My Path is paramount. My Word, is my Word and as it is that I believe your word is your word. Your handshake is an unspoken agreement that trust will be established or all going's on cease.
I have just recently had my Patient Confidentiality broken. I am aware quite by mistake, an error in judgement, yes, but none the less, a breach in our contract. I will have a good talk with this wonderful young lady and am positive that this is simply one of those "eye opener's" and she'll be more careful in the future...
...this is all I ask for.
My dearest Health Care Professionals, I know that the demands placed on you and the staff of every level of the Medical and Mental Health Field's are being taxed beyond measure. I wish to share my thanks and gratitude with you for what it is you do for us, the patient. Blessings.
