It s true that HIPAA serves to protect our data but it s hard to read and understand all those little paragraph at least if you dont work or study medicine and when you ask the nurse about more details they seem to get bored to this question.
Like everything, read carefully and dont hesitate to ask more precision even if the nurse seems to be bored. The bad point is that if you dont sign it you will not be attended by a doctor but what it s most important fill up the paper or try to heal the person and after sign the paper ?
The warm feeling I get when someone is thoughtful enough to say thank you for having been helped far outweighs the empty one I get
when there’s no feedback at all.
