Waiting for MRI results

[D J B]

Regarding HIPPA, and FERPA and any other rules and regulations covering the disclosure of medical records from student athletes, here are a couple of articles that should give anyone enough information to graduate from the Holiday Inn Express University and sound somewhat intelligent. Sounding intelligent is purely a personal decision and should only be disclosed with your written consent on the board.

A Private Matter: HIPPA and your athletic program | Training & Conditioning

If you understand HIPAA, there's no reason it should be a barrier to athletic communication, a source of headaches, or a cause to fear legal action.

It's HIPAA and it will be 26 years old next year. The full name of the law is the "Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996."

Thank you. I meant to say is. My point is...it's no fans right to know. People confuse a courtesy with a right.

I’m currently out of lidocaine, but an IV ringers lactate is a possibility.

Try some haloperidol. a small dose to avoid side effects.

Thought that only worked on the men’s board

Oh it works everywhere!

Does Paige "NIL - Buckets" Bueckers and her family want this "private medical information" withheld from the public?

She's a public sports figure, the reigning POY with millions of "followers", who suffered an in-game injury seen by perhaps millions....why act as if it's a delicate, "private" situation? We're not talking cancer or transitioning...it's a sports-related knee injury.

It wouldn't hurt Paige, the team, or the school, if information was made available.

For ex: "Paige will undergo an MRI on such and such day, and the results will be made available 12 (24, whatever) hours later. Until that time, there will be no further comment/information."

This entire post was disgusting.

Why...because it is private and being concerned or having been witnessed to...doesn't change that. It certainly as SOME have said or alluded to doesn't "entitle" them to the information and doesn't make those who understand this limitation any less of a fan. Yes...everyone saw her grab her knee, but what caused that is protected medical information until the patient says that it isn't. I get the angst...curiosity or whatever one wants to call it. I just don't understand the...demand.

I wish her the best. But this is about something larger than sports....for me anyway. And that is the behavior and expectations of fans and how they see these athletes that they claim to respect. Respect their privacy if that's what they want. Pray. Wish them well. Bite your fingernails. And it matters not one bit what was disclosed regarding some other athlete.

And lastly...I'm not arguing whether disclosure would hurt because...I don't know. BUT...everyone can decide for themself if not disclosing it or not expediting...would cause them harm. My answer is no, I wouldn't be harmed and if I had concluded yes...I'd be more worried about myself than Paige.

You don't have to show them. You DO as a CONDITION OF EMPLOYMENT. So still...it's YOUR RIGHT to disclose or not. And they have the right to not have you work there. At question here is different. It's whether someone OTHER THAN YOU (UCONN) is restricted to disclosure without your consent. And that is YES.

So If I own a company and we self insure, and we want to control our medical insurance costs I can’t request medical records as a condition of employment? I want to make sure potential employees don’t have any underlying medical conditions that will drive up medical costs.

Don't agree

 

[Fishy]

Huh? Unless Geno wants he and his team to be bombarded with Paige questions, false rumors everyday, it would be smart to issue a statement.

Do you REALIZE that for the past 26 years, all injuries suffered on the court, by any member of the UCONN Women's basketball team HAS been made public?

This is hard for both of you.

You do not have a right to know this girl’s medical status. When they want you to know, you will know. If Paige does not want to release specifics, spoilers, you won’t get them because it’s not remotely your business.

 

[gophers1995]

A lot of UConn fans need to chill. When they release information on Pagie's injury, then you will know. It's kind of alarming how demanding you are to know a private person's medical information.

 

[LwrcasefaN]

I used the same term as you, right? Condition OF employment. I could disagree to your terms and not disclose and go find work elsewhere. Now...if you're asking me for information post hire...that's not the same thing.

Demanding, nosy, spoiled give us a break, what you are seeing is people who CARE about this young ladies health, nothing freakin more

Yep all of those. It’s annoying as an outside. They’ll release information when they see fit. ‍♀️

 

[GoUconn7961]

Perhaps they’ll let us know when there’s something to tell.

If she and her parents want it private then they have to be prepared to answer endless phone calls and texts asking for information. Better to allow a limited release.

Frankly, that would be insidious.

 

[LwrcasefaN]

When we ask our government officials to disclose information we aren't nearly this demanding as taxpayers. I'm just saying.

For what it's worth, I injured my knee playing basketball this spring, it took me quite a while to get an MRI (probably not a problem for Bueckers), it then took time to get the technician to read the results, and longer still to see an ortho and discuss a treatment plan. I'd be wildly impressed if a state school medical hospital could get her soup to nuts service with a treatment plan that would make sense to make public within 24 hours. And she might even want more than one opinion.

So even she knows the basic diagnosis, I still think it will take time to determine a treatment plan and how long she's likely to be out. Until then, there's really no point in releasing anything, even if she wanted to.

Wish her well, and her injury slight: speaking from experience, torn meniscuses and ligaments from the basketball are NO fun, and the path to full recovery is LONG.

 

[Zanzman]

Good luck on your recovery

You need to remember... this is The Best Player in NCAA WBB (the reigning POY for all awards except the only one she was ineligible for), the Best Player at UCONN, she plays for Geno who is held in highest esteem in Connecticut, and UCONN is a Basketball School and UCONN WBB is held in the highest regard in the State. IF there is anyone who can get the MRI done, reviewed and treatment plan developed in "record time"... it would be in this case with Paige.

I'd say it's up to Page and her parents to decide which is "better" for them.

Perhaps you should be more concerned and 'care' about her rights and her privacy, no matter how much you 'care' about her health.
