My company's samples come with warning labels on them, that they may contain mistakes. They're just guides, they can be very helpful at times.

They're all at risk...
It's called hacking. It can be done to any computer regardless of which country that computer sits in.
It is more of a risk overseas. SM
If some company operating from an offshore country with a "store front" in the U.S., decides to retaliate against Dr. John Doe, and spreads 50 of his patient's medical records over the internet, how easy do you think it would be to track down the so-called contact (whose name cannot even be pronounced) for the transcription company who is nowhere to be found? HIPAA has now power to fine, penalize, or imprison any overseas operation because the HIPAA laws only apply here in the United States. IMO, there is a substantial safety risk in having medical records leave the country.
Normal xrays would have a very low risk
of causing infertility these days. Years ago, things might have been different. On the Gardasil issue, the doctor does not have a right to force this on anyone.
There is a risk, but if you have an idea how big the file should be
and you have good virus protection and adware/spyware software, then your risk is minimized.
It would be a lot of added risk to an already risky surgery. nm

Why doesn't Risk Management say something to the docs? nm

Offshore or onshore - personal information is at risk sm
when it is in private homes. The only way to avoid this is would be to not allow companies to import the SSN in their ADT feeds to companies that do outsource work. It doesn't matter whether it is a domestic MT, or offshore MT, or any other person with access to that information - AMERICANS are dishonest as all get out too. The only information we MTs need is Name, DOB, and MR#. The only people needing SSN info are the billing department to communicate with the insurance companies, no one else in the hospital should have access to it. It's a joke to think offshoring MT is what is causing the problem, it's human nature, people are greedy and want more - MTs for some reason seem to feel they need to blame offshore for this but it's really a copout and just another reason to place blame.
Proud to be an American home-based MT who is HONEST!
Yes, I agree. The risk is too high. Will purchase the cat flea repellant.

Phentermine causes pulmonary hypertension - it is not worth the risk. Prozac - you can go either wa

Does your hospital have a Risk Management team or office? Contact them. (nm)

My Norton's just blocked a browser exploit with a high security risk...
just now when I entered the main board forum here on MTSTars. I would like to know what that is all about!
Sexual predators vs witch hunters. watch children risk becoming predators....
I recently had an awakening about the witch hunt currently going on for one "convicted sexual predator." Predator first offense: 18 y.o. dating 15 y.o. Dad of 15 y.o. angry and had 18 y.o. arrested. My grandmother was 16 when she married my grandfather who was 19. I guess he should have been arrested too.
Second offense: 21 y.o. made copy of nude on internet. Copy found by off-duty policeman who reported find. Predator arrested, mother's computer confiscated, 100 y.o. public defender appointed. Predator had to prove person posing for picture was over 18. How could anyone do that if they do not even know name of person appearing in picture. Predator convicted and on probation. Cannot be anywhere with any children. No Christmas get togethers with family, no church, must leave restaurant or other public place if children come in, MUST be registered and can be locked up if too close to daycare, school bus stop, etc. and must go ???somewhere if children present in Dr. waiting room etc. Neighbors informed of sexual predator in midst and regularly egg car and persecute in other ways. I wish they would round up every photographer and reader who ever looked at girl's breast in magazine and could not prove girl of age. (National Geographic for instance.) I find sexual predators abhorrent but think we have gone too far. Am I the only one who sees the backlash from fear?
Stand up and what get fired. Lose benefits and lose my house. Can't risk it.
I wish I could. That is why this business is as bad as it is. We can't afford to not work, so we settle for whatever gets thrown at us.
