Statement of Claim
Complaint Involved (1) - View
Claimant says:
"On August 27, 2016, I was discharged from Wesley Long Hospital, part of the Cone Health System in Greensboro, NC, after a 14 day stay in the critical care unit.  I then spent 20 days in a rehab facility. When I was discharged from that care I was given the Wesley Long Hospital discharge summary.  In that document under "Hospital Course" is a diagnosis of "Genital herpes: stable, continued Valtrex prophylaxis,"
I do not have genital herpes.  I have been prescribed Valtrex for chronic shingles.  I asked Cone Health System to correct this entry in my medical record and they did, as of April 14, 2017.  However, this mistake has not gone unrecognized and is no longer confidential.  This is understandably embarrassing, especially for someone my age.  A diagnosis of genital herpes carries a weighty stigma.  That is why confidentiality is so important in a provider-patient relationship.  My right to confidentiality has been violated."

A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart.
