It's the Session 9 "syndrome"

Motts, what is it with you and chairs? You've reached the point where chairs are practically the first thing that comes to mind when people think of you. It's like this:

Chairs=Motts

I guess it's true that Motts considers no gallery complete without an exquisite lone chair shot.

or a headache...

I think it's definitely a heat sink, but the problem with the sound-room looking design is that you can't run a fan over the fins - they block each other out by being perpendicular.

They aren't supposed to and never were supposed to leave this information unsecured. Patient information has always been supposed to be confidential, even before HIPAA - HIPAA just put some teeth into the concept. However, given that we have now seen this at multiple sites I am saddened by it.

My best guess has to do with timing and ignorance. As a psych I am supposed to keep all records for anyone I have seen in therapy for at least 5 to 7 years (the length depends on the state psych laws). I have moved 5 times in the past 7 years and each time I have moved I have made my poor spousal unit pick up and move multiple (15+) metal file cabinets full of therapy records. Luckily last year was my time limit expiration for maintaining records and I was able to shred and/or burn 15 filing cabinets worth of records. I think that's why I get so irritable when I see that other people don't follow the same guidelines.

I am guessing that the information was kept for a number of years per state statutes, and then as the years dragged by the information was forgotten as new people came in and took over the state record systems and somehow lost the fact that all this was still sitting somewhere.

Well, that's me being kind. I know that if MY name was in any of those records (either as therapist or as client) I would be a little peevish about now.

Looks like the adaptive equipment work/repairshop
