No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Why on earth is your doctor even allowed to share your personal situation with anyone? Did you consent to that? Else it's a quite severe violation of your privacy.
You'll flip when you find out that there are circumstances in which they are mandated by law to share your personal information. That stuff is regulated to hell, and rallying resources to help people sleeping rough is a good thing in my book. Maybe OP doesn't need the help but the other 99% of the people living on their cars are at huge risk to life. Starvation, hypothermia, malnutrition, human trafficking, prison, just to name a few.
A human trafficking course is required to review my healthcare license. They're not used to seeing people with your skillset. Also, people who do adventurous things often do them well past the age where they're safe. Just making sure that you know you have options.
Insane. Where I'm from they are not allowed to forward anything. Not even billing information to a third party payment provider without explicit written consent.
It's usually strictly regulated what is allowed and what requires consent. Like I said, life saving is usually the intended criteria. That's how child molesters are caught. Are you gonna ask diddler daddy for consent to put him in prison for giving his daughter HPV?
Different pretense, if a kid is identified as a victim, authorities will be informed since they haven't reached maturity yet, and the alleged perpetrator is the legal guardian.
If an adult falls victim to sexual abuse, they will not inform any authorities on their behalf but leave it to the person.
If an adult is a suspected victim of human trafficking the police will be alerted despite their consent. Sexual abuse victims will be contacted by police and social workers as it is their job, not the doctor's, to offer assistance and determine the consent and course of action to take. Same thing happened here, the doctor is not qualified to make the judgment call, so they call someone who is qualified and authorized to make such decisions. For doing so, the doctor is permitted and expected to partially disclose patient information, like identity and anything they saw or heard that prompted them to call social services or police. As they did in OPs case. This is not the violation of rights you think it is. It's actually a sensible compromise to try and protect the most vulnerable members of society. Adults can be vulnerable too.
Shocking twist: Kintarian is 12.
Idk, I once got threatened by a doctor for admitting to marijuana use. He said he was going to report me to law enforcement. It never happened but police kicking down people's doors over suspected marijuana possession was definitely a thing that happened a few times in that town. The mayor even started a brawl with some medical marijuana picketers once.
Weird. I've never had a doctor that gave a shit about marijuana use.
Varies based on location and doctor's non-medical beliefs.
Yea I believe it.
If that was anytime in the last decade or so that's horrifically illegal.
Depends on the country and jurisdiction
Uhh...if your doctor refers you to someone else within their own practice, that's in no way a violation
It is where I'm from. Not even nurses have full access to the patient file. Confidentiality exists between doctor and patient exclusively, that's why I'm so shocked.
In the US, medical records within a practice or facility are able to be accessed on a "need to know" basis by those working with the patient. If your doc refers you to another specialty, whoever comes to see you will have access to your medical record. Strict disclosure laws apply to releasing info to entities outside the facility
