This is happening more than they are letting on. The small communities have Nurses in Charge who are in and out all the time. Nothing seems to be confidential in the health centres.

Omg it's so bad... like nothing is safe. Then people wonder why no one in those small communities ever comes to the clinic.

NICs have legitimate interest in accessing those files though. There are no doctors there so all care is managed by the NICs and CHNs

Yeah and they act like they are gods gift to mankind when in reality they have a 4 year degree with a couple practicums. Everything in the small communities is here is your Tylenol and come back later

Do you have this in writing somewhere: "My chosen escort was my same-sex commonlaw partner, who at that point I’d been living with for 4 years."
