Male Modesty Violations Part 2

Part One will not accept further posts. Please continue posting here.

Cancer Therapy & Privacy Angels Part 2

I have just noticed that the last few posts are missing from the original thread. Probably the same problem that Bernstein has had. I will post them here. Please post only to Part 2 now.

The Mass Media's Treatment of Patient Privacy

Most of the complaints center on how men are portrayed as patients in the health care system, often very disrespectfully. The media clearly play a role in this, though it's hard to be sure how much they cause vs. how much is a response to society's already formed attitudes.

Cancer Rx & privacy: My Angels Are Come

Art Stump's book, My Angels Are Come addresses this issue in a compelling manner with all its ramifications. There have been several posts concerning this book over the last 6 months. By request I will consolidate those posts and I have invited the author to join us.
This thread appears to be full and will not accept further posts. Please continue posting on Part 2.

What Can We Do To Improve Medical Modesty & Privacy Rights

Please suggest actions that we can take to solve current problems.

Organize For Patient Modesty/Privacy

By request, to facilitate activists to join together to promote your goals. Add comments here. Many are interested but it will take some real activism to get a group going.
A group is in the process of forming. More members are needed. Contact Jimmy at medical.privacy@yahoo.com for starters.

Women's Privacy & Modesty Concerns

All comments on women's issues are welcome here. The majority of this thread has concerned the usefulness of cervical cancer screening. I think most of us have learned some surprising facts about cervical cancer.
This thread is now full and will not accept further posts. Please continue posting on Part 2.

Gender Preferences in Healthcare

What are they? Do men and women differ? This topic pervades the blog, but I'd like to consolidate it under one heading. This topic will concentrate solely on patient preferences and not with how they affect employment of health care workers like the prior thread.

Group Physicals

Do they humiliate young men? This topic includes school physicals and military induction physicals. There's been enough discussion of this to merit its own thread.
Some deleted comments are re-listed on Dec 16, 2008.

Male Modesty Violations, A Special Case?

Topic by request. Is this sufficiently recognized by providers?
This thread is now full and cannot accept further posts. Please continue on Part 2

Your Medical Privacy Rights

What exactly are they anyway?

Electronic Medical Records (EMR)

A boon to patients or a threat to privacy?

Equal Employment & Gender Preferences

Equal employment opportunity laws definitely interact with privacy concerns of patients, especially as it involves same gender care. This thread will try to explore this topic in detail.

Religion, Race & Patient Privacy

How sociological factors affect our privacy and modesty requirements. An expanded look at the issues involved as religion is not the only variable involved.

Informed Consent

How 'informed?' How specific need it be? This comes up in multiple threads.

“We’re all professionals here”

A sufficient safeguard for your privacy???

Add Your Personal Story of Privacy Violations

These can be violations of confidential information such as providers or employees talking to others about your medical findings or violations of procedures or examinations, such as examining room doors left open. Violations specifically covered under HIPAA of information transfers can be listed below or see link under HIPAA.
Stories which in my estimation are likely to be fictional will not be posted.

Information Transfer ViolationsThe main thrust of HIPAA

We need to include this as well. I will be posting references.

Chaperones, A Violation of Privacy

Does the use of opposite gender chaperones violate privacy?

Make Topic Suggestions

Please make any suggestions for new topics here.

Taking of Videos and Pictures Without Permission

Complaints centered on the taking of videos and pictures in operating rooms and emergency rooms without the prior express permission of the patient.
