Just for kicks and giggles...

Why I hate HIPA:

An actual phone conversation held by one of our clerks and an Ann Arbor area hospital:

hospital: "I'd like to check and see if a patient has a legal guardian"

clerk: "What is the name?"

hospital: "oh... HIPA laws do not allow me to give you that information."

Yep... more laws are a GREAT idea...
