Putty Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 "I would like to ready her chart myself" ......explain that part....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2highpsi Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Yeh they shouldn't have a problem letting you see it. If one person gives you a hard time, just ask another one. BTW Hope she gets better soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 You're an MD now? "Hippa" laws are in place, your wife has to give permission for you to see any of her medical records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorne Posted July 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 I'm not a MD, But I'm well read and can read online about the things I see. I grew up with a Mom who worked as a nurse. I read all of her books and have atleast a idea about what I'm looking out. For exmaple her WBC is 28. Thats extremly high. They believe she has a infection in her blood and celllitues or osmething shit i dunno I'm a mess I just got back from funeral home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99ta Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 hippa laws won't alow them to show it to you. have your wife ask to see it and she can show you. Your wife on Dialysis? and you mean 28000 WBC. that would indicate an infection. and if her infection continues or gets worse her WBC could drop very low indicating depletion of WBC stores. Remember normal is 4-10K. PS my wife is a dialysis nurse, s she is sitting here telling me what to say. Hope everything works out for her!

thorne Posted July 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 No not Dialysis. I guesse K because they did say normal was 4-10. I had not had time to read much online because I've been busy between funeral. They did let me look at them I had no problem. Shit the computer was left unlocked and I could have read everyones but I did not. I also relized that there are way to many security issues with the current setup. They need to have scan cards to login and when the card is pulled to got a new room it locks. I could have trojaned that box and really had a hayday It scared me.

Dr. Apex Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 I was born at St. Anns, before it was where it is now. Does that help?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VA GUY Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Hippa laws are very strict. Unless she's assigned you as a POA (power of attorney) or signed a release form they probably won't be able to tell you much. Hope she's doing ok though!!

I had not had time to read much online because I've been busy between funeral. Wait so this thread went from you wanting to read your wife's charts to planning her funeral? I hope I misread this, sorry to hear and I hope everything gets better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirks5oh Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 28k is pretty high for a WBC count, for just cellulitis. i don't work at st. anne's anymore. get this, if i get blood work done, i'm not allowed to look at my own results, even though i'm a physician, and work at the hospital--its a HIPAA violation!!!
