Actually Lisa, I was using a hypothetical situation. I didn't say that I wouldn't allow my husband to have my HIPPA information, but I did say that any medical professional giving out information without the patient's consent is wrong. And that it's illegal. So when his therapist is telling you that a judge is going to think you've done things wrong, that is probably one of the things they will not look kindly upon. YOU know it's wrong to be given that information, therefore you shouldn't be taking it. Also, you seem to be bitter with the system because it is trying to prevent you from taking over your husband's rights. I am glad that as screwed up as our legal and medical systems are that there is some attempt to preserve each individual's rights to remain an individual and not the ward of someone who believes they know best. Thankfully the system is trying to allow your husband to remain an individual. Just because someone's mentally ill doesn't mean they should lose the rights to govern themselves and their own lives.
