Title: There is a way....
Post by: cassandra on August 01, 2019, 11:26:46 PM

We’ve had a thread once about fellow-patients dying, and the emotions, and a lot of clinics and staff pretending it didn’t happen etc. There’s better ways to deal with this

HIPPA is always used for not sharing information. But when we join a center or visit another US center we are presented with stacks of paper to sign.  I’d guess they could develop another page related to do you want your fellow patients to be given limited information Incase of illnesses or death.  Given is not the right word maybe should fellow patients who ask be told limited information. The kind of information shared by family and friends on this form for example.
