Do you go out of town as nurses for your own private healthcare?Rating: (votes: 0) ![]() Yes, I do for any specialty care, but not because of privacy issues, but quality of care issues bc i do live in a small town. I have faith in HIPPA, and if someone wants to share my private info, they will lose their job. Comment: I don't live in a small town now, but I grew up in one. You either trust the health professionals in your community or you don't. That's just part of small town life and culture.It's a question in cities, too. The health professionals who work in the best places, don't want to get their care in settings that are less than the best -- so they become patients in their own facilities. It happens all the time. When you work at a well-respected facility, it's quite common to have patients that are also coworkers ... or the family members of coworkers.Comment: Thank you both for taking the time to respond to my post!Comment: Heck, my mom used to work in her own gyn's office. When she was getting radiation for breast cancer, she worked for that doc too. Her appointments consisted of her taking a break and "flashing" the doc. I work in an OR, and frequently see my own gyn around. It honestly doesn't bother me. If I were to need surgery, I'd pick exactly who I'd want to staff that room because I know who's good at their job and who I want to stay far far away from. So there are some benefits.
