I was thinking of a hypothetical where the patient is suing a third party, but indeed, if you're a provider getting sued, you don't subpoena yourself. You just hand the records to your defense team, because they're your records. That much I can say with certainty. If a patient so much as says the word "lawyer," the…

Sure, but then the confidentiality is still broken, because somebody has to examine the records to determine their relevance. It's not as though the university just up and put her records on the Internet; only their attorneys saw them.
IANAL (and you probably are), but in an alternate universe where there's no FERPA, I would think that HIPAA would be the prevailing law, and in those cases the subpoena goes to the healthcare provider or facility (who, per HIPAA, is the owner of the records), not the patient. Unless there's a state law augmenting…

The victim has my sympathy as far as her case goes (based on what I've read of it), but as a number of other posters pointed out, the legit beef here is how UO obtained her records, not that they did so. It was sketchier than it had to be, but it was not "unjust"; if you sue somebody, you are rightly required to be…
Pictures of faces are PHI (*protected* health information). Look it up.
Note that the tweets are from the hospital, not Marvel (and as such they would indeed have to have gotten the patients' approval for release because HIPAA). Celebs do this sort of thing all over the country just about every day, and very little of it makes the papers. Sometimes people really just like to give kids a…
These ISIS dickbags look to be basically on a Khmer Rouge-style "Year Zero" campaign. They think that the entirety of human history and civilization is "wrong," and are hellbent on resetting it to remake in their own ugly images. These archaeological sites survived for centuries under an ACTUAL FREAKIN' CALIPHATE…
The hospital is on the hook for patient privacy laws if they released her information to the papers, but the press is not subject to HIPAA or any other patient privacy statutes (unless they actively conspired to obtain the information unlawfully with someone who IS covered by HIPAA).
In the US in general, the press may print/report/whatever any information that is true or that it believes in good faith to be true, full stop. The acquisition of that information by unlawful means is its own offense (hacking, conspiring with someone to obtain privileged or classified information, invasion of privacy…
1) 50,000 years ago and 2) they visited Earth, so if we're playing with plausibility we could say that Indo-European languages developed under Prothean influence in this scenario.
Actually in Indiana it can be aggravated assault even without a weapon, but it has to result in permanent disfigurement or disability. Since they were able to put this unfortunate soul's bits back, it drops to elevated assault (1-6 years).
So, here's what you do: scotch this crazy-ass live-action idea, do an animated series that's doesn't suck (the Avatar/Korra guys could probably use a new project), hire Zelda Williams to voice Zelda and close the circle. That's yours, Netflix. No charge.
Oh, FFS this comment thread.
It's not bad; it's just not good. It's four walls and a high roof. Its aesthetic is "aircraft hangar," which apparently isn't up to scratch in a league where the new normal is "really expensive aircraft hangar."
Should be scored as an own goal, since that's a very fancy turnover if the goalie doesn't touch it.
I have it from the audition crews that neither Alex nor any of the producers will ever, ever fraternize with the contestants off-camera if they can avoid it—the dividing line between "people who work for Jeopardy and will talk to you" and "people who work for Jeopardy and will brush you off" being whether or not the…
Terrible story. Also quite rare. Nobody says police violence only happens to black people—but our old friend, Math, says it happens to black people 21 times more often than it does to white people. http://www.propublica.org/article/deadly…
Roorda is basically the Deadspin portrait of a Cardinals fan. Glad to see the ESOP kicking him down a metaphorical (hopefully, soon, literal) flight of stairs.
