Lol yes, it is.

Every single paramedic in the country is taught this. There are exceptions that allow EMTs to make judgement calls, like family and friends arriving at the scene. But this is a star QB so I'm gonna blab to my buddy is a blatant violation.

ChatGPT it if you want to.

EMT's are covered entities. Journalists are NOT. Also, saying a guy was in an accident is not PHI. Saying he broke a leg in an accident is PHI. However, if the guy disclosing it is NOT a covered entity, then there is NO HIPAA violation.

The "EMT brother" is the one that committed the supposed (hopefully made up) HIPAA violation.

And once again, yes, disclosing for non-medical reasons that someone by name was involved in an accident is absolutely a HIPAA violation if you are an EMT. Ask whatever AI overlord you want

Speaking of hippos, no Jack, not your mom, Pablo Escobar's hippos are wreaking havoc in South America. How would you like hippos as an evasive species?

The dude that made that post was not an EMT - which was my point- that was NOT a HIPPA violation.

…and once again, saying somebody was in an accident is not protected health information even for a covered entity. Saying that person (by name) broke his arm in an accident would be a violation for a covered entity, but not for a journalist.

Telander: “It’s Joey’s last year so I know we are going to get everything that he has, and because it’s his last year he is going to get everything that I have.”

Man. Nico leaving like he did and bringing these young men together might have really been the spark that this team needed. A brotherhood. I am excited for this team.

No he isn't. Saying a guy was in a car accident is in no way a disclosure of private health information. SMH.

As a 35 year healthcare worker, I’m well aware of HIPAA do’s and don’ts. I cannot tell anyone ‘hey…I saw so and so in the ER today’. Period. It ends there. No matter if I disclosed or didn’t disclose what they were there for.

If he was on the job (the first responder) and disclosed a name to anyone “not in the need to know”, he violated HIPAA.
