Confidential Drug Rehabilitation

Question by richard h: How to keep Medical Records Private?
I know medical records are confidential. But I have a personal condition that I want evaluated without it becoming part of my medical history. I have a history of moderate to heavy alcohol use and want to get my liver function tested and see a liver specialist. When I go to see the specialist, I know I have to be honest about my entire history for him to do a complete exam. What I don’t want is some insurance company coming up 5 or 10 years from now and saying..”you’re an alcoholic and we don’t treat preexisting conditions.” It’s likely the specialist will find nothing wrong with me but I don’t want alcohol abuse to be any part of my medical history. I thought of just going and paying cash so my insurance company would not find out. Any ideas on how to keep a medical condition private. If I’m willing to pay cash it seems it should be my own business. Many of us have private medical things and are fools to think everything is confidential. Please just try and answer my question and keep moral opinions or advice to go to AA out of this. Thanks
I already booked an appt. so they have my name and Dob. I wonder if I just paid cash and did not give them my real social if this would somehow make into my records.

Good luck. As a truck driver, they now use the insurance companies to Monitor us. We had to sign a waver that allows the insurance Company to inform the trucking company of all doctors visits that use our insurance. Their excuse, taking medically unfit drivers off the road. Personally, Unless it is a REASON to take the driver off the road, it is none of their damn business.

During a very confusing and tumultuous year in my life, I went down several different paths that were destructive in my life. I explored lesbianism and after i was used by my girlfriend, I got really depressed so I started watching pornography. Before long I had a sex addiction that was out of control. Now, God has turned my life around and He has forgiven me and changed me from the inside out…but I feel like I cannot tell my parents about it because it would break their hearts, plus they are both homophobes and they are super judgemental of homosexuals and those that struggle with sexual temptations….so is it okay for me to not (and possibly never) tell them?

my dumbass husband put us into chapter 13 bankruptcy because he was blowing all our money literally up his nose, he admitted this to me almost 2 years ago and had been keeping this coke habit a secret for years. well now he’s doing it again, money missing late on or mortgage again, and his sister actually told me today that he stopped by her house today and used her bathroom and was in there for a while and blew his nose befor he left, then she went in there and found a little tiny bit of white powder (shes been suspicious too) and her boyfriend tasted it and said it definately was coke. so now that i know for sure he is doing it again… his family is going to do an intervention and get him into a 90 day rehab. well i cant afford this house on my own we cant even afford it together. so what do i do? we have 2 kids and 2 dogs. it kills me to take my kids home away from them and what about my dogs? we love them. i hate my stupid husband im soo mad!!

Example:infidelity, addiction, criminal behavior.

How long could you keep such a secret and when would you break down and spill the beans if ever?

like when i was in rehab (at the age of 13-14) i had a thing with this girl who was 17 almost 18.. she was a stripper. i wanted her so bad. she asked me one day. will you be my girlfriend. i said yes. then said wow i didnt know iwas like that. but the most i ever got was holding hands and teasing.. then she played truth or dare. and made out with some ugly girl. (really she wasnt even cute)

and now im still not out. but this girl at school is who is 17 and im 16. well i had a thing for her. she got my number through a friend. we hung out. she told me she gave up on me. got a girlfriend. told me she was gonna brake up with her gf. told me she wanted to pour slurpee on herself for me. then doesnt want to hang. only talk.. all i ever got was a lame hug :/

whats my problem?

My brother got mixed up with this girl a few years back and they had a baby. He is now 2. They are no longer together but share custody equally. My brother told me on Friday that she told him she had snorted heroine a few times recently. I freaked out. I do not have any experience with drug addicts, no one i have ever known has had a problem. He says they are working out getting her help but do not believe he can do it on his own. He is not on drugs, he is a nice boy, just got mixed up with a girl from the wrong side of the tracks. Her mother was a druggie her entire life, in and out of rehab.
She is in the army reserves, should i call them. Would they be able to get her help. I do not trust that baby going back to her without her going to rehab. I do not believe that heroine is the type of drug you do only once or twice. Also, if the army tests her, how long does it stay in the body? What if she tests clean? So confused but need to do something to help my nephew. I am 26 and my brother is 23. Thanks
My brother was at my house next to me when talking to her about it. It is not 2nd hand information. This is a real situation.
Aime: cross my t’s and dot my i’s. Trying to ruin her life? ? Are you serious? I am trying to help her. I do not want to see her go down the same road her mother did. And i DO NOT want any harm to come to the baby; a defenseless little boy who lives with me every other week. I don’t know where you are from but in my book, people just to do heroine to ‘try it out’. She needs help. People die because people like you sit back and watch. Ruin her life, i think not.

i have a friend who is a gay. I told him that it is not good to lie or lying on others, because lying wont make any good and trustworthiness to others and even themselves,(before the opening of his gay chapter). The reason i told him that because most girls that he dated, he always dump them and telling much excuses just so not to be with the girls.

And so, he began to get out from the closet and explain to me that he’s gay. I was shocked but i’m ok with gays. Soon, he somehow had to forcefully tell his secret to his dad because his dad force him to.

Later, his dad beat him up and send to rehab and stuff. Family, cousins and even friends began to treat him differently after he revealed himself.

Conclusion, lying for certain reason or a secret shall not meant for others to know, is somehow acceptable. Because the world out there is cruel and not as open minded as a true civilize people. So, therefore, lying is a good thing, to stay out of trouble of course.

What you guys think of his story behind of all the cruelty of my friend that people had left a deep scar in his heart.?
Lying in certain cases can be a good thing…..but how long will it last….? how long can you keep up with lying…..? hiding in the closet is for youre own safety, and revealing yourself from the closet will cause harm that are not worthy…

Freedom is not so free when you are in the closet. When will people ever learn to understand the consequences of being different from others who are typically normal? Being a gay is not an option, it is a gift…. a gift where typicality will radiates and shine through the variety of life and even the world.

I hope you guys can spread this words and make the tyrants understand of what it is being different,especially gay. Lesbian,gays,handicapped, deaf and etc…they all maybe different in some sort of ways, however, no matter how different they are, we are all still be the same as one which is the same…..HUMAN…..

apartment living, trying to be tolerant, but when the neighbors smoke weed, or heavier drugs I gag. And their fighting gets too loud. It’s the same all over, no point in moving. No luck in ridding of the junky’s. Yes, I do have hepa air purifiers, but these expensive models won’t filter heavy fumes. How can I sound proof my wall without going broke? Serious answers only. Thanks for any good advice.

I have a profile still and I am in the IRR. I have tried to rehab 2 times and both times it made the problem worse. The Army physical therapist and ortho guy said a permanent profile was my only option. Surgery was ruled out! Can you retain an old perm profile after less than 2 years in IRR?
