My father was in hospice care for end stage leukemia earlier this year.

The nurse refused to say if she was vaccinated. IE, was not.

Dumb bitch had the nerve to claim HIPPA meant she didn't have to answer the question while trying to visit someone without an immune system.

As someone who works in an industry that deals with HIPAA-oriented concerns constantly, I’m consistently amused by how many people think that HIPAA means “I don’t have to tell you shit about fuck with regards to literally any medical stuff I may or may not have”.

Honestly, in your shoes, I’d actually try pretty hard to get her fired, because she’s going to kill someone with her negligence.
