Hi All - hope this finds everyone well. My question is: When I talk to my Psychiitrist at the VA, Is there ANY way I can ensure that those records are shared with NO ONE? (including other VA doctors) I have personal reasons for this, I actually go to a medicaid clinic, I am on SSI, and I would love to unload on my shrink (VA), BUT, I feel it is between me and him - and it is NO one else's business as I value my privacy, sadly, a very precious commodity these days. My only other option, would be to go to a walk- in clinic as a homeless person with no ID and hope to be seen and decline to share or sign ANY paperwork that had my name on it. I have serious issues that I Know I need to address but I am NOT willing to give up my right to privacy. thoughts?
I would add that I am an ordained minister and I would NEVER divulge something discussed with me to anyone else unless they asked, or they needed more then I could provide in which case I would get a written consent form after counseling them on the ramifications of doing so.
