| Mar 17, 2021 at 4:41 | comment | added | BobRodes | Interestingly, I also have a reverse sense of direction (don't know what "dys" that one is), which got me the nickname "wrong way Rodes" at a place I worked. It's really just a nuisance, but sometimes a very annoying one. On the Oklahoma Turnpike, which has the rest stops in the middle of the highway, I have on three occasions stopped to eat or whatever and gotten back on the wrong side of the turnpike. I would figure it out after about 10 miles and then have to drive another 20 or so to get to a toll gate, pay, turn around and head back. | |
| Mar 17, 2021 at 4:39 | comment | added | BobRodes | @Old_Lamplighter Wow. I just have a tendency to transpose letters and especially digits. With letters, I seem to go to a different part of my brain and just read it there; I was typically among the best spellers in my school. But with numbers, I do things like put -1 instead of 1 or the reverse in an algebraical expression, which of course completely messes everything up. | |

| Mar 16, 2021 at 21:10 | comment | added | Old_Lamplighter | @BobRodes I have dyslexic dysgraphia. The actual dyslexia is not as bad as the dysgraphia. However, not being able to write is not a major disabilty when you can type. | |
| Mar 16, 2021 at 19:43 | comment | added | BobRodes | @Old_Lamplighter You too huh? I'm glad mine is mild. Mild dyslexia is enough of a cross to bear for a software developer. :) | |

| Mar 16, 2021 at 1:35 | comment | added | BobRodes | To give a bit of perspective on how serious HIPAA violations can be, I am aware of someone who left his laptop in his car with patient info for 35,000 people on it. It got stolen. The company had to pay a $1000 per person fine, as well as pay to monitor the patients for one year to prevent identity theft. One incident cost over $5m. | |
| Mar 16, 2021 at 1:32 | comment | added | BobRodes | @ZachLipton Amazing how many health care document writing pros make this mistake. | |
| Mar 15, 2021 at 19:17 | comment | added | Old_Lamplighter | @StephanBranczyk this person is dealing with HIPAA violations. Have you ever dealt with HIPAA? Those regulations are just slightly less complicated than the rules of Dragon Poker? They will absolutely BURY anyone, and what the OP did by having these private accounts could constitute a tier 3 or tier 4 HIPAA violation, now in what world is seeing a lawyer NOT a good idea? | |

| Mar 15, 2021 at 5:50 | comment | added | Stephan Branczyk | No, she should read the Terms and Conditions (or FAQ) on those websites and/or contact the organizations who manage those websites to ask for their guidance (and if they don't answer her emails, that's not her problem). She should not seek the guidance of a lawyer. A lawyer will just delay giving her a definitive answer during the initial free 30 min consult and they will ask her for a retainer to research this issue further. That's what many lawyers do, they charge an arm and a leg for "researching" information that they know already or that can be freely obtained from government websites. | |

| Mar 14, 2021 at 17:47 | comment | added | Old_Lamplighter | @spuck When I worked for a medical company, The FDA would send in inspectors from time to time, and we even had to know where the books physically resided. Even our databases were restricted, and our tables had tp be linked in such a way that PII couldn't be gleaned from them. | |
| Mar 14, 2021 at 15:46 | comment | added | spuck | I have no experience working in a HIPPA environment, but my understanding is that it's "serious business" to the point that it was probably a no-no that the poster was using a personally-owned (i.e., non-controlled) computer and accounts to access it. This is how those news stories start where contractors lose unencrypted laptops with personal information from the back seats of their cars. | |

| Mar 14, 2021 at 2:09 | comment | added | Zach Lipton | Deleting the accounts, particularly if it runs any risk of deleting or preventing access to important data, is a horrendous idea. "So-and-so quit and deleted the company's vital accounts on their way out the door" is the sort of thing that, at best, ruins your reputation in the entire industry, and at worst, gets you sued or criminally charged. | |

| Mar 13, 2021 at 14:23 | comment | added | Tom | And without logging into those accounts. Definitely do not access those accounts for any reason, including deleting them. | |
| Mar 13, 2021 at 3:27 | comment | added | Donald | Might be worth looking into how to delete the accounts....after talking to a lawyer | |
