Instead of a sign that says "Do Not Disturb" I need one that says "Already Disturbed Proceed With Caution."

That'll get settled out of court. Very strong case if he can proof it.

I would say her chances of winning are pointing up.

Proving it will be difficult I would think.

What in the Wide Wide World of Sports is agoin' on here???

Sounds like a lot of work and expenses to have an affair and secretly order viagra when one could simply click on a few links, get-er-done, then crack open a beer and take a nap.

Giving a script to a spouse is a perfectly normal thing for a pharmacy to do. Sounds like the Husband is blaming CVS for his own stupidity and misdeeds.

Peyton must store oxygen in that forehead of his. No way I'd still be alive after all that choking.

After reading related article, the tech told his wife that thier persciptions were ready but that insurance wouldn't cover her husbands viagra. That is totally appropriate, he will not see a dime.

Medical information is highly confident, even from spouses.

Not if they've signed the release that pretty much everyone signs.

He’s an idiot for going to the same pharmacy.

Sounds like a hard case.

80% of what I talk about is nonesense.. the other 25% is made up statistics...


 

Was the med being used with the wife or with the girlfriend/boyfriend? That's a, ah, bone of contention.

Didn't someone already link the portion of HIPPA were if you have reasonable belief that the person needs access to info you can give it, even without written consent. No one would ever find their spouse after an accident without it.

here we go: The following is an exerpt from the HIPAA for Professionals FAQ's written by the Office for Civil Rights found on hhs.gov:

"A pharmacist may use professional judgment and experience with common practice to make reasonable inferences of the patient’s best interest in allowing a person, other that the patient, to pick up a prescription. See 45 CFR 164.510(b). For example, the fact that a relative or friend arrives at a pharmacy and asks to pick up a specific prescription for an individual effectively verifies that he or she is involved in the individual’s care, and the HIPAA Privacy Rule allows the pharmacist to give the filled prescription to the relative or friend. The individual does not need to provide the pharmacist with the names of such persons in advance."

Seems pretty simple. If he told them not to tell anyone, including his wife, then he'd have a case. But if he didn't tell them anything then I can't imagine this going anywhere especially if they had a preexisting agreement that his wife would pick up his medications.

I'm sure he'll straighten out either way.
