I am aware of the Hippa laws and regulations. I know someone who is addicted to pain killers. They have been for around 6 years. Their life has spiraled in an out of control, downward motion. This person has two children who they can’t take care of because of the situation. They always go into mood swings and fits of rage, especially when they can’t get any medicine. They were admitted into the hospital, and treated for depression, and have been there for 4 days. Is there any way that anyone knows of that I may be able to talk to the Dr’s and let them know that 4 days is not long enough to treat her addiction “without the Dr’s being able to tell her what was said.” Maybe then, they would look farther and help her more. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. I have agonized over what to do, and I just don’t know what the right thing is.
