Psychiatrist And Confidentuality Posted: 07-26-07 20:43pm
I was in a wreck about a year ago. I was
hit from behind and went through an atty
for my medical bills to get paid from the
other persons insurance. The other guys
insurance had a court order for my records
at my psychiatrist. I have been seeing
this DR. for three years, I had a lot of
crazy information in my chart. example:
molestation, homicidal tendensies, my
bipolar issues ect. My DR. said with a
court order he had no choise but to give
that insurance my records of three years.
If I would have known this could happen to
me, I would have never said alot of things
that were in there. When I went for my
depasition these people looked at me in a
weird way, I could about imagine what they
were thinking. And I am so very sure when
they read my chart, they probably showed
everyone that they could around the
office. I was mortified and there was
nothing I could do about it. What is the
use of signing the confidentuality
agreement. Why would they need my whole
three years of records when the accident
was not even my fault, I was parked when I
was hit from behind.
