sorry for derail!

This is very disturbing to hear about. Confidentiality of mental health records is very serious- and ought to be. Actually, any and all medical records. The person that faxed this really should have been prosecuted- and if a licensed clinician- had their license yanked.

What is so amazing is that those that "ought" to know better do this kind of stuff all the time! Someone with a valid clinical license can get into just about everything. And with the internet and hospital records, etc. being digitalized, it has become very easy to get medical, including mental health information about people.
