Yeah I'm really sorry I didn't realize it was a state law...in illinois the info can only be disclosed to the patient without authorization by the patient except in the case of child abuse neglect stds and a few other things danger to self and others of course. Apparently we have much more stringent protection than other states. I just get trained on this garbage every year because I work in a hospital even though I'm not an MD and they call it all HIPPA even though it's not.
