Isn’t that more of a slam against HIPAA than against the doctors, nurses and staff? If the law requires a nuanced understanding of vocabulary and syntax, then the law itself is bad.

Do you expect a jury to be full of mental juggernauts that will understand what the law?

Some whose practice is not even covered by HIPAA do not even know that. Seminars are given by those who either haven't read the rule or are too mental lightwieght to understand the vocabulary and syntax.

Waiting rooms are surprisingly noisy, and staff often have trouble pronouncing names, so why not sidestep the whole "waiting to see if anyone else gets up" routine?
