I wonder how it's ok to deny services under these circumstances. :( Personally, I hope they go out of business as a result. Unfortunately, few people will probably even question it, much less refuse and walk out like I did. Medicine is still mystical to many and people just accept whatever they are told. They forget they are paying for a service. Yeah, Ray, I must agree. I wonder how it’s ok to deny services under these circumstances. :(

I really hate that everyone in the world seems to think they need this kind of information. I hate it even more when I run across privacy policy records similar to those that you described. I am even more surprised to see a medical group have a privacy policy as you describe, as I am sure that is a violation of federal law under HIPPA. Even more absurd though is the number of folks who suggest such information in secure in their computers and they have open wireless (with either no or minimum) security running for the the office.
