MGH and BWH may be better - and much more costly - but I doubt NW or NEB are really better than what is at MMC in Portland.

Spaulding, if you can get in.

Togus is one of the better facilities in the VA system. Low bar to some but you should at least consult with them.

Hussey is cuter.

Get a lawyer. They'll take 1/3 of what you win.

Is this in addition to what the trash company charges you quarterly or is this the only fee for trash collection? If the latter, you are doing better than most of us vis-a-vis costs.

NJ in the area where I-78 comes into PA is pretty nice but the real estate taxes are significantly higher than they are in PA. Emmaus is a decent area, imho.

>I'm like 10 years removed from BLaw 101, so don't listen to me, but I would think it would be legal so long as you sign a contract with them.

I believe there was a Comm Court ruling on a very similar issue within the past year that said something to the affect of "no, you cannot do that." The State Department of L&I could be contacted on this issue (I certainly would as it smells of a wage law violation).

Tony kinda looks like Rage Furby, that trump-worshipper out of California.

You don't know what I know.

Dunno the brand but we called 'em shit kickers back in the day. Steel toed.

You've never been in a courtroom or you do not know what a courtroom is, but you presume to lecture me on the law. huh

When you go into a courtroom, do you confuse mens rea with diarrhea?

Since you don't "make lawyer money," I have my doubts as to your understanding of anything I post.

Ultimately, these 2 cretins received each received long sentences. One remains incarcerated. What consequences did they avoid?

Should they have been investigated earlier by judicial administrators? Absolutely. But they will forever be known as felons and, if there is a God, each will forever live in poverty and shame.

Maybe the shale gas field under Dimock assploded...

LOL.

Is this you? https://www.notguiltyattorneys.com/maine-computer-crimes-and-the-laws/

Not sure which rules you refer to here, but if it is that the Judicial Conduct Board of SCOPA dropped the ball... absolutely correct. They totally failed to carry out their duties re Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas. That entire courthouse was rank with corruption b/w 2003 and 2008. Not limited to just those 2.

>My understanding is that handling of health information is entirely in civil law.

HIPAA is not the only law covering the release of prohibited (non-public) records. HIPAA is federal. State law appears more at issue, particularly device access. Some prosecutor's offices will pursue; others, not so much.

>PA isn't a big state, geographically, but it does take several hours of driving to get from one area to another.

Veritable definition of "big state."

Surprised no one mentioned HersheyPark. Right next to Chocolate World. Spend all day but bring your $$. They have a "seaworld" venue within and access to ZooAmerica right next door.

Stinky and dirty with nothing else much around it. My kids hated it.

Def go to Crayola. A good day's adventure.

While HIPAA does not allow private lawsuits against the health provider there is no prohibition against pursuing damages for violations of privacy or device access laws (these are not part of HIPPA).

>Your friend should file a claim with the Office of Civil Rights.

A number of agencies, state and federal, have an "Office of Civil Rights," but I'm not sure what civil right would be involved. Releasing medical info to members of the public as alleged appears more of a criminal act subject to investigation/prosecution but the county DA or the state AG's offices.
