protect the privacy of an individual, not obstruct the operation of the democratic processes. The fact that patient confidentiality may be being misused to deprive an entire state’s citizenry of representation in Congress is something medical professionals should be speaking out against.

covered up in order to prevent a special election. This is a matter of general public concern, and I should think it’s of particular concern to those in the medical profession that patient confidentiality could be weaponized to achieve specific political goals. Patient confidentiality is meant to

So I’m not sure where you’re getting the idea that the code is “timid”. And you still aren’t pointing to any actual authority for your position, other than that you personally feel it’s unprofessional. There is mounting evidence that Mitch McConnell has died and that that fact is being actively

From what I read of the ANA code, it’s incredibly progressive and actually suggests nurses may have an ethical obligation to take illegal positions when it comes to patient autonomy. Reading between the lines reveals the code is quite pro-choice in every conceivable respect.

Is this gist from an AI summary or do you have a citation to an actual provision of the code? I’d be willing to admit I’m wrong with an actual citation, but I just skimmed the entire ethics code on the ANA website and did not see anything like the APA’s Goldwater rule.

Unless Mitch McConnell is literally this person’s patient, there is nothing unethical or problematic whatsoever about the opinion that was expressed. You can disagree if you want, but HIPAA says what it says, and it does not contain sweeping prohibitions on expressions of political opinions.

Likewise, HIPAA doesn’t impose any sort of obligation on medical professionals to limit the expression of their political opinions. You can be a medical professional and still believe and opine that elected officials ought to be accountable to their constituents with respect to health conditions.

I can work for the IRS and still express an opinion that Donald Trump should publicly disclose his tax returns in the same manner as every other presidential candidate in history. The fact that the information is confidential by law and that I as an IRS employee could not disclose it is irrelevant.

I don’t agree. Expecting a public official to share medical information pertinent to their ability to do their job is a perfectly acceptable opinion for anyone to express, including a medical professional.

He doesn’t have to, but people are WELL within their rights to criticize a public official for not sharing important information about their ability to serve in the office they were elected to.

Vyvanse worked better for my ADHD symptoms better than anything else, but sadly I had to stop taking it because it caused me severe anhedonia after a few months of taking it. 😔 I’m on adderall now with no side effects, but it just doesn’t work as well as Vyvanse.

She’s a piece of shit, but shaming her for sensory issues is not it. A lot of people struggle with showering and hygiene.

I hate that they’ve made it so difficult to purchase music now. Used to be you could search iTunes and just buy the album right there from the same app where your music lived.

Notably, wage theft costs workers $50 billion a year, and you never see this even mentioned as the costliest type of property crime, let alone characterized as a “crisis”.

I know, I’m wondering how they are getting hidden, like immediately. Can posters hide comments or is this the BlueSky algorithm automatically hiding unfavorable replies?
