In reply to the discussion: Paul Manafort admitted to hospital [View all]csziggy
(34,136 posts)17. Unless Manafort has signed permission for his health information to be shared
And named his family and/or his attorney, his medical caregiver cannot provide it. It's part of HIPPA
With all my various operations and with the illnesses and deaths in my family, I consulted experts and have completed a health care surrogate and living that names who can be told about my medical issues and also names who can make decisions if I am unable. Everyone really should do that just in case.
Also, whenever I have checked into the hospital or increasingly, when I've gone to a new doctor, they have me sign a form to name who can be told about my medical condition.
Manafort may have decided to not let anyone know, other than the medical people at the hospital the prison uses.
