Medical Material

 

 

Hi Everybody,

My apologies for taking the page down. I was contacted by someone from the UMDNJ Privacy Department. The nice lady said the items I had on this page could have been construed as compromising patient confidentiality, though she wasn't sure how. She said she was going to look through the documents to see if I had any patient names in the documents. In the meantime, I was told I had to take the page down (which, of course, makes one wonder how they were going to check the documents since I was told to do it the very same day they called me once I was out of work). Also, they said the material could be construed as proprietary.

I did not get the name of the person who called; she may have said her name when she first called but I was working in an ED at the time and could barely hear and she did't give it again. But she called me from 973-982-2337 which is a non-working number at UMDNJ (something I found out when I tried to call her back to tell her I had removed the material). So, I assume it was a legitimate request from a legitimate requestor. That's a shame, I would have liked to give you her info because she mentioned that the info on that page should have been available to people working at UMDNJ, especially in the ED, and she sounded like someone who might have been able to effect that.

Anyway, my apologies for whatever I did, best of luck to you.
