Yes she’s breaking patient confidentiality but she has no idea if Karl is only sleeping with men. Telling Simone is a cruel kindness; she’s trying to protect her from catching it from him.
Fr, she was sweet. Also, I believe patient confidentiality should be suspended for spreadable disease. Or at least spreadable, UNCURABLE disease. (Also technically she did not violate HIPPA because he was not her patient. Her husband broke HIPPA by telling his own wife)
It's always been a major issue for me. If one day I have a patient with HIV and they have a partner, I can't say anything without losing my job. This is a situation that actually terrifies me.
me too!! I would actually deeply bother me, that my cheating spouse or partnerwhen to doctors, and MANY doctors knew he was HIV positive and didnt tell me
Nowadays, that would've been a huge lawsuit HOWEVER, the HIPAA laws that protect a patient's privacy didn't go into effect until the mid-90's; this show takes place during the mid-late 80's. 😉
Yes, but it could still be a lawsuit in the setting that the nurse is telling her about this. She is the patient's wife so technically, without HIPAA, it's a given that she can know, but to discuss it in a public setting where anyone else might hear is still break patient-doctor confidentiality which did exist back then although less stricter than HIPAA (considering that she practices as a nurse of her husband's and has access to her husband's patients' files). Also, yes, it is HIPAA, not HIPPA
My god talk about missing the bigger issue. HE DIDN’T TELL HIS WIFE. And anti-retroviral drugs weren’t anywhere near as developed (as a matter of fact around this time the disease was virtually a death sentence) as they are today, meaning there’s a high likelihood his viral load was off the charts. So on the off chance they got drunk and got intimate again he’d be literally risking her life. Yall on about bullshit legalese
My Mother has been a Nurse Practitioner since the 90s. She told that earlier in her career she worked in River Oaks area (Upscale Houston Tx) All of those beautiful rich women would come in her office with their expensive jewelry and fancy cars. Just to leave their with incurable STDs that they got from their husbands who "travel for business" #4B Movement
Yeah, the men kept up appearances for their public and get married . Do you know the same thing happened to Patti Smith with Robert Mapplethorpe? Once he told Patti that if she didn’t stay with him he would turn to being a homosexual. She left him anyway and they stayed friends . You really should read the story or go to u- tube and listen to her talk about Robert
I know it's a violation of his privacy but I'd want to know how f my husband bis a homosexual with HIV. And if he's not telling me, I hope someone who knows is kind enough to say something. The nurse obviously meant well. She wasn't snide or condescending or spiteful. She seemed genuinely worried for Simone. Simone is generally the snide one. And she had a good husband who protected her but the nurse had no way of knowing that and was just looking out for Simone. To my best knowledge, the nurse did not go around spreading rumors. She told the one person who needed to know cos theta were at risk.
@jeanninejoslin6551 At that time, yes she did. This was before HIPPA, and at that he didn't have HIV, he had AIDS. This was a death sentence at that time and contagious. They still didn't even know how it was transmitted. Which is why it was considered the "gay man" disease. They didn't know that it was bodily fluids that transmitted it until later when babies and women were dying. At that point, the nurse was trying to protect her. Also, not sure about now, if you contracted HIV/AIDS, you were legally required to contact every one you had relations with. As HIV was able to be controlled somewhat.
@@jeanninejoslin6551you prefer her not to tell? If this happen to you, you rather someone spread the disease to you and your prefer to rot and waiting to die?
Please watch it! It focuses on 3 different stories of women in every episode and it’s literally brilliant. I couldn’t recommend it any further! Loved it ❤
Watch it. It is really good. The person saying season one is Beth Ann is wrong. Season one is three different women who hav all lived in the same house at different times. Beth Ann in ‘63, Simone in ‘84, and Taylor in 2019. It jumps between time. It is well written, directed, and acted. Out of all of them I was rooting for Beth Ann the most, but Simone was my favorite. I haven’t watched season 2 yet, but I will.
I had a friend whose husband was sleeping with men while they were married. She had no idea. When he started looking very sickly because he had AIDS he told her there was an issue with his medical coverage so she couldn’t go to the doctor. She also started loosing weight but because she thought she didn’t have medical coverage she didn’t go to the doctor to try to find out what was going on. I told her I thought he had aids. She was pissed at me for suggesting that. Long story short, he died of aids and she died a few months later also of the same thing.
She was looking out for the safety of Simone not trying to gossip or pity her. She is a nurse whom has found a patient with a deadly disease and she is making sure the women he married isn’t infected if she was it would be very crucial to let Simone know and take her for antibiotics if they had them during that time
Antibiotics, in the form of penicillin, was discovered in the early 1940s during WW2. We have had anti retro virals since the nineties. I was diagnosed HIV positive in 2001 and I am still here. No detectable viral load and CD 4 count way above 600. Have not missed a days work in all this time.
Well, that's stupid because there was no treatment and antibiotics don't work against AIDS. By the time he got AIDS he must have had HIV for a longer time, and could have spread it already.
She did the right thing- she was afraidthe husband wont tell his wife he's sick and make her sick too. She cared about Simone health. Who cares of confidence when a persons life is at stake?
Simone didn’t sound pleased w this woman in the show. I honestly thought it was a good gesture she’d told him or else she’d been away while Karl being sick
1 I don't believe HiPAA passed yet since that happened in 1996 but also this could kill her. Is it ethical no. But this women has no idea if they are still having sex and she also has less of a legal responsibility not to tell his wife so while she shouldn't do it she also has no idea how this new disease works and doesn't want to watch a women die and greive
I agree. However, she should have found a PRIVATE place to tell her. As it was, another woman was in the restroom, heard it, and shared the information.
It was a scary time with no correct knowledge and a growing fear causing groups of “people” to create witch hunts. Patients were treated like Lepers so Gay & Straight friends and family suffered in silence. It was a dark time for humanity.
I remember back in the early 1980's when we first started admitting hiv/aid's patients. The doctors really did not know how to treat these patients at first. Some were put in isolation rooms and we had to wipe off everything in the room with a diluted bleach solution. Talk about a headache for all. Then research improvements made patient care better for everyone. However in 1990's I worked with a nurse that had a partner who developed aids bc she said he abused drugs via needles in his past and now clean & sober this happened. She was up front about him since his admission & care he needed..but they fired her a few months later.
Drs and nurses have a duty and oath to “do no harm”. Even with HIPPA they have to protect you with the truth if there is a real danger you are exposed. I had an ex-husband who our doctor told him if he didn’t me to her office the very same day, that she was going to find me herself and he had to physically bring me to her office so that she could tell me that he had 3 STDs. She saved my life and I would say that in court!!
The nurse was trying to save her life. If I'm not mistaken, it's mandatory to have have the potential carriers informed and test them. Also, the special agencies should be informed. The patient confidentiality isn't applicable to the people who might've been exposed. At least in my country.
I agree. The mistake this nurse made was telling her where she told her. She should have found a private place. As it was, another woman was in the restroom with them, heard it, and spread this information as gossip
HIPPA didn't exist during the time frame of this show. She wanted to tell her that her husband is TERMINALLY ILL & if he was sleeping with his wife, she most likely would have it also. She was trying to save her life...
Just to let y'all know HIPPA was created in 1996 so what she did was not illegal yet so she wont get into big trouble for telling Simone what is going with Karl
I don't know about other countries but in mine STDs are informed to the partner too, it's not a violation of privacy. Telling uninvolved people is though.
@@cutienerdgirl that too, but also my point is letting a person know the risk they might be getting AIDS is more important than HIPPA. Violating privacy there will be consequences of lawsuit / money, but getting AIDS is far more than that.
The wife deserve to know if her husband have a contagious disease that can be passed down to her. I remember when AIDS kinda made the news in my country when we had out first fatality, they were coming up with dramas involving wifes catching it from their cheating husbands.
Back then, some patients would purchase excessive amounts of medicine that prolonged their lives, just to donate the left overs for people who could not afford it on the streets. Others chose to pass before they became shells of themselves. Others chose to continue and fail to battle the disease known to have no cure, stating it was Gods punishment. It was telling a woman to prepare for her husbands passing, and death is never an easy thing to tell
Weirdly irl she couldn't tell smthing like that Even now knowing aids is def not tied to homossexuals and its out there both in men and women ppl are not required to disclose this information, it falls under their right to "not be seen or looked at diferently in society". Personally i disagree a little, especially since its not only trasmited sexually but troight open wounds. My mother worked in prisional services for a while and ill never forget when she told me one of the inmates told her he just found out he had it and couldn't wait for the next intimate visit from his wife so he could "drop the crab on her". She was absolutely disgusted but she rly couldn't say anything to the wife as it wouldve cost her job. Some ppl are sick like SICK and i wouldn't be surprised if someone was actively spreading comtaminated blood onto others just so they could share the suffering. So always protect yourself
No laws broken. But this show one of the reasons for HEPA. Now that we have this from half of this would never happen. With that being said 100 believe this woman was trying to help the other lady.
I’ve seen the entirety of “Why Women Kill”, this woman was not being kind or understanding to Simone. She ended up spreading gossip about Karl and their community of friends and neighbors basically alienated him. Reference: ruclips.net/user/shortsR8lwWlkyOVg?si=1JI9Rb5ck1UAUmU5
Nah, come on, that was Tommy's mother - she was in a toilet cubicle, and overheard this conversation, and she wanted a violent revenge on Simone and anyone associated with her.
@@lilpixie.9653 Yes but that was different. Simone specifically said something once about how she wants a nurse for Karl who’s “not the goddamn town crier”. I’m pretty sure that was referring to this woman.
Everybody always wants to sue, and then who gets paid? Yes she is breaking HIPPA, but this is life or death for the wife. She could have been a little more gentle in her approach though.
If he was a homosexual then there would be no real concern for her health. However back then many straight people were much less familiar with the concept of bisexuality. There was also a lot of ignorance of the facts regarding how HIV was passed on so it created paranoia.
I can see it both ways, trying to be nice, from one woman to another type thing, and also can see it as her doing it to be rude. However, i will say the actress does a good job of showing empathy and sympathy with her eyes. I dont think it was done in a malicious manner. I could be wrong 😂
I used to live near a gay sauna and would often see men coming and going in work attire. Sometimes I would wonder how many of them had wives and girlfriends at home who had no idea of their evening plans, or that they were having casual relations with other men at the sauna. If one of those men decided to come out, his life wouldn’t be over, even if his marriage was. But in the 1980s, coming out as gay was a blemish on your character and you could risk your job. So little was known about HIV other than the stigma that it was a gay man’s disease and a father sentence. Most wives wouldn’t have known their husbands were gay either. Under the circumstances, the nurse did the right thing. By the time Carl had gone to see his physician, his HIV had turned into AIDS, and if he was still physical with his wife, she’d almost certainly have contracted it. I’m glad science and society have moved on now.
This is why people don't say anything these days. It always ends up backfiring on them. And I have had situations where I wished someone told me. But I guess I get why people shut up. You always get caller out for it
I don’t think her nurse status or even HIPPA matters when you acknowledge who these 2 women are in the story plot… the wives of the very men aka patient/doctor their referring to… 😂 😅
@@georgiamanu6353 protecting her from a spreadable deadly disease will always be the right thing. Not telling her while knowing they are a married couple and if she's have s. e .x with him she could catch it is cruel

Oooops. HIPPA violation before HIPPA. Still, breach of confidentiality.
Hippa wasn’t signed until 1996
Hmmm, I guess HIPAA didn’t exist during this time 🤔
Where can I find this seris??
If he was a homosexual then there would be no real concern for her health. However back then many straight people were much less familiar with the concept of bisexuality.
There was also a lot of ignorance of the facts regarding how HIV was passed on so it created paranoia.
Feel free to adjust your halo!❤
I can see it both ways, trying to be nice, from one woman to another type thing, and also can see it as her doing it to be rude. However, i will say the actress does a good job of showing empathy and sympathy with her eyes. I dont think it was done in a malicious manner.
I could be wrong 😂
The name of the film????
there is no violation or privacy from WIFE!! It should be made legally compulsory for husband & wife to declare any health related issues!!
Isn't it like in the 70's?? Look at that lipcream applicator 😂
I’m tell yall, STOP PUTTING IT IN THE WRONG PLACE.
I used to live near a gay sauna and would often see men coming and going in work attire. Sometimes I would wonder how many of them had wives and girlfriends at home who had no idea of their evening plans, or that they were having casual relations with other men at the sauna. If one of those men decided to come out, his life wouldn’t be over, even if his marriage was. But in the 1980s, coming out as gay was a blemish on your character and you could risk your job. So little was known about HIV other than the stigma that it was a gay man’s disease and a father sentence. Most wives wouldn’t have known their husbands were gay either. Under the circumstances, the nurse did the right thing. By the time Carl had gone to see his physician, his HIV had turned into AIDS, and if he was still physical with his wife, she’d almost certainly have contracted it. I’m glad science and society have moved on now.
This is why people don't say anything these days. It always ends up backfiring on them. And I have had situations where I wished someone told me. But I guess I get why people shut up. You always get caller out for it
Is that Stefania from Everybody loves Raymond??
Clear violation of patient cobfidentiality
SUE THE CRAP OUT OF THAT DOCTORS PRACTICE AND HIS WIFE , SHE SPREAD MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE TO ALL THEIR NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS...
This takes place before hipaa. It’s supposed to be the 80s.
She did the right thing. Maybe it protected her from catching deadly diseases.
Yeah, breaking every hip law.In the book , I'd sue heeto hell and n back
HIPPA didn't exist yet.
my fave
What the name of this movie?
I don’t think her nurse status or even HIPPA matters when you acknowledge who these 2 women are in the story plot… the wives of the very men aka patient/doctor their referring to… 😂 😅
Hippa?
I forgot the name of this show ...
Please tell me she was sued or taken to jail
What's the name of this show?
What movie is this
Did we have liquid lip back in the 80s? I thought during that time it was still bullet lipsticks. Anyone can enlighten?
SHE meant well... however, that's none of her business.
She didn't want the wife getting HIV, too.
She had no business disclosing that information 😢.
She did it for the right reasons though if you watched the show 🤷🏼♀️
Being upset with someone that says," Hey, your partner has AIDS, people are dying & unless I'm too late, maybe you can save yourself," is ludicrous.
@@lostheartslostminds oh really! How naive of you!
@@lostheartslostminds just because she had the right intention doesn't mean she did the right thing.
@@georgiamanu6353 protecting her from a spreadable deadly disease will always be the right thing. Not telling her while knowing they are a married couple and if she's have s. e .x with him she could catch it is cruel
