Ms Higgs acts like she is about to make a massive point and then doesn't. I feel almost let down. She is building me up for nothing!

I'd like more info on this as well. I am guessing it is allowed because she was determining whether or not he was a threat to himself or others. Same with the crisis team. Still, questionable in my opinion. If I were to ever tell a family member of a patient's AIDS diagnosis without his consent, I'd probably lose my license. Regardless of the circumstances.SLAM! I had thought that it WAS a Hippa viololation with Dr. Fenton by the question that was asked/answered the other day. I was concerned, not for this trial, but for the Dr. that she did a violation in calling his mom. This witness just clarified it was NOT a Hippa violation. I'm surprised that it is not, but interesting that THIS atty brought out that clarification.
Let me know if I am incorrect in my thinking.

I swear half of these defense attorneys are all waiting for that Perry Mason AhhhHa moment----never happens and they get upset....She wants something but is starting to bore meMs Higgs reminds me of myself when I'm about to have a panic attack. I'm being serious here. She looks a bit unsettled.

I also thought it was implied to be a HIPPA violation for Fenton to contact his mom. But the only questions I actually remember being asked about HIPPA were in redirect, when she was asked if it was a violation for her to continue to contact, email, call, etc. the patient, after he has told her he did not want to continue as her patient. I believe it was, but she wasn't sure (which struck me as funny).
I don't really know what the law states, but Feinstein seemed pretty sure it wasn't a HIPPA violation, and I'm thinking the defense wouldn't have let it go without a following up. JMO, MOO, etc.

I am starting to hate Higgs as much as I hate Holmes.
I keep thinking she is about to get some great big point but then it fizzles out like a damp firework.
