I JUST NEED TO VENT 🤬🤬

Dysheeka • #BoyMom May 2013 December 2020

I am so mad!!!! I understand due to covid-19 we cannot have our significant other come to our Doctors appointment which isn’t a problem. My problem is when I try to record our babies ultrasound so my fiancé can see (his first child) I get told that it’s a HIPAA violation for me to record my own child in my own uterus. Like ummmmm okay?????? But wouldn’t printing out my ultrasound with my name and the name of the facility be a HIPAA violation as well????!!!! Like what is up with these people. I never heard of this ever in my life.

My Dr doesn't allow it either, but it isn't a hippa violation, it's their own policy

A lot of doctors are allowing people to video. You should bring that up to them and remind them how important it is and how he is missing out. Ask to FaceTime live in stead

Not filming during an ultrasound is a rule even before the Covid pandemic. I had to pay for a private scan to have a copy of the whole ultrasound and share it with my husband. I know it sucks but that’s their rules and they’ve never changed, except for not being accompanied.

Where I am, even before covid there was no recording, & they’ve kept that rule 🤷🏼‍♀️. Even tho you can’t have your spouse with you. It sucks but they have to follow the policies given to them or they can get into trouble

It's due to insurance as if they miss something and you have it on video you can sue them. It's so frustrating that they can't just allow us to video call our OH as its the same as them being there.

That’s so dumb. I only had one ultrasound that my husband couldn’t be there for and I was able to record it.

Mine doesn’t allow it. But all 3 scans I had they gave me a CD copy with every picture taken and every cute bit recorded.

my dr don't allow video recording but DO allow facetime with my husband it really all depends on the hospital and ultrasound tech

Lol are you educated? An ultrasound pic isnt a hippa violation because the doctor is hanging it solely to you!!! Anyone can hack your phone, hence HIPPA VIOLATION

Also it isn't a hipaa violation to video either lol are you educated? Its doctors preference. I already asked. Nothing to do with hipaa but they use it as an excuse. Also. It's HIPAA. Not hippa 😂😂

what a rude and condescending remark! and the reason they dont allow filming is for liability reasons
