HIPAA:"Can't see the forest from the trees" ?

     HIPAA: "Can't see the forest from the trees" ?


I will not go into details about gun control and second amendment, since it can be too much of a controversial subject to all of us. Nevertheless, it prompts the following expression in my mind: "Can't see the forest from the trees." Why? Well, to no surprise to all of us, Many reasons come to our minds!
- I do agree and support thorough background investigations for gun licensing, ownership or purchase. We don't need a Rambo appearing in every community. Even so, if we really think about it, if someone truly wants a gun and is rejected officially to own and use it, one could easily purchase it through other channels and suppliers.
A Band-Aid approach
Alongside of weeding out the unfit, HIPAA should allow parents the transparency they need from the doctors. Such an alliance throughout their son's and daughter's therapy would be significant to help prevent and diffuse disasters.
Bending the rules when it matters most should be one of HIPAA's main amendments: I could personally help add this amendment if you like and save us, the taxpayers, lots of dollars and cents! Here it goes:
In any case of diagnosis for mental illness, parents should have the right to partner with and receive information from but not limited to: physicians, hospitals, and schools regarding their son's or daughter's compliance to therapy and medication, whereas the health department would support such transparency throughout the treatment, for aim to encourage parents' involvement with safety and adherence to therapy.
I guess, THIS is seeing the forest from the trees!
