Bill Self out due to illness or health issue

[mynameisjonas]

Someone on phog said it wasn’t a heart attack but just “experienced discomfort” and “they found a blockage”

I would guess he had chest pain, went to have it checked out, they probably performed an angiogram found a blockage and then gave him a cardiac stent.

If that’s true that is a good outcome to catch the blockage before a heart attack. A lot of people aren’t so lucky.

After what happened to Mike Leach, TJ's little cough makes me nervous too.

This is why I will never fault a coach like Jay Wright, who has made more money than he'll ever need, retire early. Stressful profession with lots of examples of guys having heart attacks at a young age.

Get well coach! May want to think twice about the technical foul calls now.

Meh, I'd cough too if I had talk/yell over the crowd that much.

As much as I hate Kansas and Self, I wouldn’t wish this upon anyone. Hope for a full and speedy recovery for him.

Illness is protection for a HIPAA violation. The employer cannot release the cause of his hospitalization without approval from the employee.

I'm no HIPAAologist but doesn't HIPAA cover the release of info from the healthcare provider? As in, the hospital can't say anything to anyone without the patient's permission?

Once Self gives that permission, his employer has no confidentiality requirement.

Man tough year to be a Big 12 coach this season.

Domestic abuse, racism, heart issues oh my!

Who would have thought Huggybear was the healthy one?

Unless Self didn't give that permission

Unless Self didn't give that permission

Then how would his employer know?

Correct. HIPAA applies only to healthcare providers. Patients/family members can give out health information to anyone they choose, who in turn can give it to others, etc.

Calling into work saying you are sick and can't work is quite common.

Precisely my point. The hospital can't say anything, but Self or someone else obviously did.

Actually HIPAA applies to anyone that has access to protected health information which is everything from providers, to insurance companies, to billing depts, as well as employers under certain circumstances. Something doesn’t have to be an “illness” to be protected under HIPAA, it is applicable to any protected health information

Yes, you’re correct, it’s a bit more than just healthcare providers. A person can’t violate HIPAA with their own information, though.

This only has been explained 5000 xs around here. You are correct.
