Va Records, Clinical Trial, Privacy

[cowgirl]

Think Commander Bob referenced 'clincal trials' and veterans possible unknown participation. So I took a look at the VA website for Hippa and FOIA information. I found this - very broad interpetation of, imho (cgho) - if they wanna get my info they're gonna. (Haven't found where I can opt out as of yet!)

Wakeup Note: When I first searched the VA website for 'privacy policy' its an amazing read. For instance THEY COLLECT - what path we took to their website, the site we visit just before or after accessing and I.P. address and browser used, + other things.

Yup, changing my Internet Ops asap!!

VA hospitals, Medical schools, and medical research, go hand in hand. Service to our country goes beyond what many of our fellow Americans perceive.

That's just great. Like I need anything else to ad to the paranoia.

Don't worry Ryan. You have been through a lot, and now everything will be OK. You have come a long way with your VA claim. No need for paranoia,. Check your med's if you feel a little fear. That's normal with some of the meds your taking. If the VA is keeping track of you then all they will see is a brave young man, who was wounded in combat. Take a look at the Agent Orange register. All those Vietnam Vets are in some kind of a statistical clinical trial.. Here is a little something to help you with the paranoia. My most positive thoughts are with you...
