  3. "Could be"? So-called experts are a bane on our society. It is a clear violation of HIPPA, at the very least.

    1. 'violation of HIPPA'
      I put no trust in HIPPA or medical staff.
      There have been instances where I, the patient, requested lab results and was told it was a violation of HIPPA to comply with my requests.
      Likewise, at least once, but I seem to remember a second time with a different office, when I inquired of their notice that patient's personal information may be shared with 3rd parties, they told me any information, including identity 'may' be shared.

  5. My doctor and health network continues to prompt me to sign up on their website portal.

    This here is a big reason why I won't.
