Anxious

Hi!

Here is a little note. I'm abit anxious, about family finding out about some hospital admissions, or walk-ins.

I don't want my family to find out about it, however, there is a likelihood this could happen. Is there anything I can do? There is no possible way I can tell my family, so that isn't an option.

Is there anyway I can stop worrying about it or an easy way to kind of drift over it, if the worst happens and someone finds out.

This is something I would rather not be on my medical records, but it is all the same, and I can't change that.

Thank you for your thoughts :) Best Wishes HB

HI HB.,

As an adult, you are not obligated to tell anyone in your family about your medical history unless you wish to let them know.

Your records at any given facility should not be shared with anyone under the hospital/clinic's policies...

So unless a bill, for example, was going to a realtives address, I don't see how your family would become aware of anything...and I don't think you need to worry.:)

I hope that you have a worry-free rest of the weekend!

Okay, I understand your concern...

...however, try to think possibility vs. likely chance of this happening.

Unless that family member was going through records that he/she has no reason to go through (you were not his/her patient) the chance of them seeing your personal paperwork is not high.

Keep telling yourself that your personal business is safe and secure. :)
