Do doctors have cameras?
Doctors typically use cameras to prevent criminal behavior rather than to record it. Prescription drugs are enticing, and even regular medical supplies, especially needles, can be a target for a petty thief – or an unscrupulous employee.
What information can a hospital give out?
Under the HIPAA medical privacy rule, a hospital is permitted to release only directory information (i.e., the patient’s one-word condition and location) to individuals who inquire about the patient by name unless the patient has requested that information be withheld.
Is it normal to have feelings for your doctor?

Can doctors read other doctors notes?
Unless provided by law, or authorized by you, your doctor, HMO, or other medical provider may not disclose, sell, or otherwise use your medical information for any purpose other than as is necessary for providing direct health care services to you.
Is it legal for a doctor to record a patient’s waiting room?
Yes, it is. It is legal for the physician to record their office waiting room – the patient does not have a reasonable expectation of privacy there. It is a common practice. It is not a HIPAA violation because no record is made.
What happens after the Doctor gives the exam results?
The doctor will give the exam results to our VA claims processors. Our claims processors will decide your claim based on these results, plus your other medical and military records. If you have questions about the claims process, call your nearest VA regional office.
What happens after a VA medical exam?
After your exam, the doctor will write up a report and send it to a VA claims processor to be added to your claim file. Your exam may be very short, or it may last an hour or more. It all depends on the conditions you’ve claimed and whether we need more information to make a decision.
How long does an in-person visit with a doctor take?
For example, the required questions the doctor asks about a knee injury may take only a few minutes. But the questions for a more complex illness or injury could take much longer. A mental health evaluation usually lasts 2 to 4 hours. It’s important to remember that your in-person visit is only one part of the claim review process.
