Is there a HIPPA Violation
Woke up in sever pain, thinking I slept the wrong way. After running hot water to loosen muscles, pain became more severe. Went to health care facility where I work. Basic vitals taken, but no EKG to confirm no heart attack. Sent to waiting area for approx. 50 minutes without being assessed by a Provider. No contact with Provider. Left facility to been seen by another. Admitted to outside facility under different Insurance Plan due to severe buldging disck in neck, with severe vein inflammation. Is it permissible for the nurse that did not seek further assistance , not following the "Standard of Care Protocol" to call me 4 days later from her private cell home asking "why did I leave, why didn't I stay" at this time I was admitted to hospital, second day stay. I have not worked in this department for at least 3 years. Has a violation taken place.
