Encore: Unapologetics 101November 30, 2009 — Deacon Duncan
[Originally posted as "Unapologetics 101" on July 27, 2007.]
Before we get into a detailed analysis of I Don't Have Enough FAITH to Be an ATHEIST, I wanted to take a minute and look at the most fundamental and important principle for effective refutation of Christian apologetics. Debating apologetics can be a tricky matter: Christians have 2,000 years of experience in rationalizing their beliefs, and generally know better than to allow themselves to be pinned down to anything that would settle the matter fairly and objectively. There is, however, one inescapable fact, with one inevitable consequence, which can be used to force Christians to face reality no matter how much they would like to twist away from it.
The inescapable fact is this: God does not show up in the real world, not visibly, not audibly, not tangibly, not for you, not for me, not for saint or for sinner or for seeker. Many people, of course, have already pointed out this fact, and tried to use it against Christianity, with little or no effect. For 2,000 years, believers have been rationalizing their way around that one. That's why, for maximum effectiveness, we need to combine the inescapable fact with the inevitable consequence.
If God does not show up outside the stories, superstitions and subjective feelings of men, the inevitable consequence is that we have no alternative but to put our faith in men rather than in God. If I promise you that God will put ten solid gold coins under your pillow tomorrow morning, and you believe that this is true, who are you believing, me or God? If those coins are not there tomorrow morning, who lied, me or God? When men say things on God's behalf, and make promises that God is supposed to keep, you can either believe them or disbelieve them, but the word is the word of men, even if men attribute it to God. You can believe in what men tell you about God, but if you do, you are putting your faith in men. There is no alternative, since God does not show up to give you anything else to believe in.
This is an important point, because Christians tend to believe that they are doing something noble and spiritual when they believe Christian teachings. Because they believe that the Bible is the word of God and that Christian teachings in general are the teachings of God, they count their belief in these teachings as a mark of loyalty towards God. God does not show up in the real world, however, which means that when they put their faith in these teachings, they are not putting their faith in God, they are putting their faith in the fallible men who brought them these teachings and told them they were from God.
Psychologically, it makes a big difference to the Christian whether he is defending faith in God, or only defending faith in men. The most effective approach to unapologetics, therefore, is to keep directing the believer's attention to the inescapable fact that God does not show up in the real world, and that the inevitable consequence of God's universal absence is that all these apologetics for God are the words of men. Believe in them and defend them if you want, but you'll be defending men, and not God, if you do.

One can celebrate the victories for gay people while at the same time decrying this term's sadly limited vision of justice for all.
A Watered-Down Vision of Equality
Tanya Hernández teaches comparative employment discrimination at Fordham University School of Law and is the author of "Racial Subordination in Latin America."
June 26, 2013
Despite Justice John Roberts's insistence in the Shelby Voting Rights Act decision that historical perspectives about racism are no longer relevant, the 2012-13 Supreme Court term seems to have been guided by a limited, Jim Crow-era definition of discrimination – concerned only with the formality of legal segregation. This would explain the contrasting support for and evisceration of civil rights across the cases decided this term.
This view would dictate that discrimination exists when the law is directly implicated in separating groups of people for the purposes of imposing stigma, parallel to Jim Crow segregation. Any other manifestation of harm against individuals based on their socially derided group status is irrelevant as long as "the law" is formally neutral. The formality of the law is considered paramount over the actual unequal status of disfavored groups.
This formalistic and historically limited picture of discrimination thus explains the civil rights success in the gay rights cases and the simultaneous constriction of the racial equality cases. In Windsor, Justice Anthony Kennedy notes that the Defense of Marriage Act's "avowed purpose and practical effect are to impose a disadvantage, a separate status, and so stigma upon all who enter into same-sex marriages." In Perry, the California sponsors of the Proposition 8 same-sex marriage ban were understood to be inappropriately attempting to assert a status as agents of the state, which formal law accords only to public officials. The formality of legal categories reigns in both decisions.
One can celebrate the victories for gay people and all of humanity while at the same time decrying the decisions' limited vision of equality. That limited vision eroded the pursuit of equality in this term's racial justice cases.
Indeed, the 2012-13 Supreme Court term simply continues what has now been three decades of eroding the achievements of the civil rights movement with incremental procedural court rulings that whittle away substantive racial equality while leaving intact an edifice of formal equality. Thus the Fisher v. Texas case reaffirms the constitutionality of affirmative action while at the same time narrowing the ability to effectively pursue racial equality with race-conscious policies. Likewise, in the Shelby County v. Holder case, the court retained (in the abstract) the Voting Rights Act's ability to monitor the voting changes of jurisdictions with a persistent history of racial voting discrimination, but (in practice) declared unconstitutional the very coverage formula that has furthered our democracy.
The employment discrimination doctrine was similarly gutted this year, with the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center v. Nasser decision to place additional proof burdens on victims who experience employer retaliation when they raise the issue of discrimination – even though protection from employer retaliation lies at the heart of protection from discrimination.
In short, the Supreme Court now endorses a pretty facade of civil rights, concerned only with whether the law directly segregates society into groups like old-fashioned Jim Crow laws. This term's takeaway message is that superficial equality law is more important than the concrete provisions that engage the ugliness of present-day, actual discrimination.
What we are seeing is not the end of the achievements of the civil rights movement but the erosion of their efficacy and grounding in the realities of persistent inequality, simply because the Supreme Court majority has an extraordinarily limited view of what counts as discrimination. The outlook behind this month's rulings discounts all the ways in which we continue to live in a highly racialized and structurally unequal society – even after the law took down the "whites only" and "heterosexuals only" signs.

Maggie Rizer's Dog Dies on Airplane
Will the Sad News About Maggie Rizer's Pup Make You Nervous to Fly?
It's every traveling pet owner's worst fear: handing over your best friend to the airlines and learning on the other end of your journey that the worst has happened. Model Maggie Rizer, her husband, and her young son took every precaution when preparing for their flight from New York City to San Francisco, getting 2-year-old Golden Retriever Bea a physical exam, obtaining the proper carrier recommended by the airline, and providing plenty of cold water. But upon reaching the cargo terminal on the West Coast, they were nonchalantly informed by United Airlines staff that Bea had died on the flight. A necropsy later informed the grief-stricken pet parents that the four-legged member of their family had suffered heat stroke.
Rizer's tragic story is certainly not the first incident of a pet death's in the skies. But it's yet another reminder that — regardless of how much we prepare our furry loved ones — we are putting great trust in the airlines to care for our pets while we aren't there to supervise. So we're curious:

Live at WFMU on Brian Turner's Show, 8/3/10 by Bill Orcutt
Album Description
Live on WFMU, 4th Floor Bathroom
During the 1990's, Miami's Harry Pussy provided among the most confrontational and challenging recordings and live sets to a post-hardcore generation, and Bill Orcutt's blasted guitar playing defied easy categorization. Such is the case upon his return last year with a solo LP A New Way to Pay Old Debts, whereupon he takes an old Kay acoustic guitar rigged with a found pickup and tears out some unbelievably gutted, aggressive yet defined picking/shredding compositions to make even even seasoned guitar composition connoisseurs turn their heads for the mere reason that you've rarely heard the instrument approached this way. Comparisons to the woolier moments of Cecil Taylor, fractured player-piano- roll sounds of Conlon Nancarrow all enter a decidedly unguitar-like realm of performance, with gutbucket resonations and almost microtonal approach to strings in the spirit of pure freedom and anarchy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Humbird71 from Safe to use, wonderful pan and easy clean up I needed a Nonstick pan, but from the health news I was concerned if a nonstick was safe. After doing much research, seeing videos on the manufacturing process and checking other reviews I decided on this pan. Been using this for a month now and I'm VERY impressed. Our packaged meals that require non-stick cooked beautifully with food easily observed through the tight glass lid. Last Saturday hubby perfectly prepared pancakes. Last night, I browned bacon wrapped Filet Mignon with sauteed mushrooms in a wine sauce that came out flavorful and moist. Following the Care and Cleaning instructions, this pan cleans beautifully and I've had NO scratching or flaking problems, (unlike other expensive brand pans I've had to throw away). So far this is an AWESOME pan. And thinking about purchasing the WHOLE set. Bottom line a beautiful pan that performs perfectly.Date published: 2018-09-05Rated 5 out of 5 by Liz4178 from Look no further!!! I have used All Clad non stick and somehow the non stick coating ruins after months. So I decided to try another brand and was I happy. This pan can handle it all. Even though it is huge, the weight is not really as bad as the Le Creuset. The real test was yesterday when I accidentally left this on the stove top for more than an hour on medium high with nothing on it. I was so afraid that I ruined the nonstick coating but lo and behold it did not affect this a single bit. I sing the praises of this pan and know that I got my money's worth. Yes it is expensive but the ease of cooking and cleaning this pan is incomparable. This is so beautiful that it can be used from stove to table serving as well. You will not regret this purchase!!!Date published: 2015-07-04Rated 5 out of 5 by Catpillow from So far I love it This is a very large, very non-stick pan. I have an induction stovetop and the combination of this pan and the large burner has been excellent. I get perfectly even heating across the entire cooking surface. Caramelizing onions was a dream because everything onion was browned the same amount at the same time. I tried eggs with a tiny bit of butter and they didn't stick at all. I had to sort of chase them around the pan with the spatula to get them out. I could have just slid them onto the plate. The pan is very easy to clean. Just a quick wipe with soapy water and it's clean. If the pan stays just as it is, I expect it will be my favorite pan for many years.Date published: 2015-06-20Rated 5 out of 5 by Gadgetfiend from The pan of my dreams I have lusted for this pan for years. It's the perfect size for a big meal for 4. I have a LE creuset the same size but I dread the weightlifting involved with washing it. I wish it didn't discolor on the bottom from a hot flame and the lid fits a teeny bit loosely which doesn't affect function but I feel that the fit should be perfect given the price. Still my all time favorite piece of cookware.Date published: 2015-02-26

Today EU leaders recognised the need to ramp up efforts to combat tax dodging, but failed to agree on a clear pathway to make it happen.
Natalia Alonso, Head of Oxfam's EU Office, said:
"We hope EU leaders mean serious business this time. They must deepen their resolve to tackle the scandalous holes in tax policy. Action is needed now to find solutions to a problem which sees up to €700 billion drained from developing countries every year".
"Big multinationals should be subject to greater scrutiny over who really owns them, where they work and what taxes they pay. This would make them more accountable, and help restore the public trust. As stated by EU leaders today, it is now up to the European Commission to suggest the way forward".
"Europe should remain at the forefront of international efforts to fight tax dodging, leading the charge rather than following it. For starters, the EU must put its own house in order and ensure all countries, including Luxembourg and Austria who are currently blocking progress on automatic exchange of tax information, support bold reforms. EU leaders have set March next year as their new deadline and this must be respected."
Notes to Editors
Poor countries lose out around €700 billion every year because of illicit financial outflows, mainly in the form of tax dodging by multinational companies, according to a new report by Global Financial Integrity. This is seven times greater than overseas aid provided by donors to poor countries.

Is This Information Right for Me?
This information is for you if:
- A doctor has suggested one of these medicines (listed below) for you or someone you care for. These medicines are called "antipsychotics" because they were made to treat severe mental illnesses such as psychosis. Antipsychotics are now used for many mental health conditions and symptoms, not just psychosis.
- Aripiprazole (Abilify®)
- Olanzapine (Zyprexa®)
- Quetiapine (Seroquel®)
- Risperidone (Risperdal®)
- Ziprasidone (Geodon®)
- A doctor has said that you or someone you care for has one of these conditions:
- Dementia
- Eating disorders (anorexia nervosa)
- Generalized anxiety disorder
- Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Severe depression
- Substance abuse
This information may not be helpful to you if:
- A doctor has not suggested an antipsychotic for you or someone you care for.
- Your doctor has suggested a different antipsychotic than those listed above, such as asenapine (Saphris®), iloperidone (Fanapt®), and paliperidone (Invega®). There is not enough research available about these drugs for conditions other than psychosis or bipolar disorder.
- You are taking the antipsychotic clozapine (Clozaril®, FazaClo®). This medicine can cause a serious side effect and requires special care from your doctor.
- You are under 18. This information is from research on adults.
What will this summary tell me?
This summary will tell you about research on how well some antipsychotic medicines work for conditions other than psychosis and bipolar disorder. It will also tell you about research on the risks of side effects for these medicines.
Where does the information in this summary come from?
The information in this summary is from a report on antipsychotics taken for a variety of conditions. The report reviewed 170 studies published before May 2011 about the effectiveness of these drugs. It also reviewed 180 studies published before May 2011 about the side effects of these drugs. This information can help you talk with your doctor about what medicine may be right for you.
Understanding Antipsychotics
Why do people take antipsychotic medicines?
Antipsychotic medicines were made to help people who have psychosis, a symptom of severe mental illnesses such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. These medicines are now used for many other conditions (listed below). These medicines are not made to cure these conditions, but to help relieve symptoms and improve quality of life.
- Dementia: Problems with thinking, memory, communication, or movement. Sometimes dementia causes people to yell, fight, or see things that are not there.
- Eating disorders: Anorexia nervosa (not eating enough food because you think you are overweight even when you are underweight and very thin).
- Generalized anxiety disorder: Frequent and very strong feelings of fear and worry that go beyond the usual everyday stress that people feel.
- Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD): Feeling anxious from thoughts and fears (obsessions) that lead you to repeat actions (compulsions) without a good reason. Examples include washing your hands repeatedly because you fear germs or repeatedly checking the door lock because you fear intruders.
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD): Anxiety, panic, or depression based on a traumatic event in your life.
- Severe depression: Ongoing feelings of sadness, worthlessness, and hopelessness.
- Substance abuse: Overusing or becoming dependent on alcohol, drugs, or other substances.
What does research say about how well antipsychotics work for different conditions?
Antipsychotic medicines studied in the research for this summary include:
- Aripiprazole (Abilify®)
- Olanzapine (Zyprexa®)
- Quetiapine (Seroquel®)
- Risperidone (Risperdal®)
- Ziprasidone (Geodon®)
Antipsychotic medicines NOT included in this summary:
- Clozapine (Clozaril®, FazaClo®) was not included because it can cause a serious side effect and requires special care from your doctor.
- Asenapine (Saphris®), iloperidone (Fanapt®), and paliperidone (Invega®) were not included because there was not enough research available about them for conditions other than psychosis.
Not every antipsychotic medicine has been studied for each condition. For some medicines, researchers are able to say how many people saw a benefit during studies of those medicines. This information may help you understand how likely you may be to see the same benefit.
|What benefit?
|Which medicine?
|How likely is the benefit?
* The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the antipsychotics aripiprazole (Abilify®), olanzapine (Zyprexa®), and quetiapine (Seroquel®) to add to other medicines for treating severe depression.
XR = extended release
|Improved symptoms such as aggression, delusions (believing things that are not true or logical), or hallucinations (seeing things or hearing voices that are not there) Did NOT improve problems with thinking or memory
|Although doctors may see small improvements in tests that score symptoms, there is not enough research to know how many are likely to see the same result.
|Generalized Anxiety Disorder
|Improved symptoms by about 50 percent
|For every 8 people taking this medicine, 1 saw this benefit.
|Severe Depression*
|Improved symptoms by at least 50 percent or removed all symptoms
|The research for this summary only measured the likelihood of this benefit for risperidone (Risperdal®) and quetiapine XR (Seroquel XR®):
|Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD; related to military combat)
|Improved symptoms slightly
|Although a benefit was seen for some people, there is not enough research to know how many are likely to see the same result.
|Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
|Improved symptoms by at least 25 to 35 percent
|For every 5 people taking this medicine, 1 saw this benefit.
|Eating Disorders (anorexia nervosa)
|Did NOT help people gain weight
|There was not much difference between those who took this medicine and those who did not.
|Substance Abuse
|Did NOT help people reduce the amount of alcohol or drugs they took or the amount of time they stayed drug or alcohol free
|There was not much difference between those who took an antipsychotic and those who did not.
What does research say about the side effects or risks of antipsychotics?
Antipsychotics have many side effects or risks. Some of these side effects and risks are serious.
|What side effect or risk?
|Which medicine?
|How likely is the side effect or risk?
* Elderly = people 65 or older.
† A few studies found this, but there is not enough research to know for certain.
‡ Incontinence is a condition where people have a strong urge to urinate or they leak urine when coughing, laughing, or walking.
|Death in elderly* people with dementia
|For every 100 people taking one of these medicines, 1 had this side effect.
|Stroke in the elderly*
|For every 34 people taking this medicine, 1 had this side effect.
|Uncontrollable movements, such as tremors or tics
|In the elderly*:
|In the elderly*:
|Weight gain
|Drowsiness, tiredness, and decreased alertness
|In the elderly*:
|Urinary infections and incontinence‡ in the elderly*†
|Although some people had these side effects, there is not enough research to know how many are likely to see the same result.
What are other possible side effects?
Antipsychotics may cause other side effects that were not included in this research. These side effects are listed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
|What side effect?
|Which medicines?
|* An increased level of prolactin can cause problems with sexual function and enlarged breasts in both men and women.
|High cholesterol
|Swelling in the ankles and calves
|Low blood pressure
|All antipsychotics included in this summary
|Dizziness or lightheadedness
|All antipsychotics included in this summary
|All antipsychotics included in this summary
|Dry mouth
|An increase in the level of a certain hormone in your body called prolactin*
Making a Decision
What should I think about when deciding?
There are several things to consider when deciding if an antipsychotic medicine is right for you or someone you care for. Only you and your doctor can decide whether any medicine's ability to help is worth the risk of a serious side effect. Each person responds differently to different antipsychotic medicines. Your doctor may try several medicines before finding the right one.
You and your doctor should discuss:

A Will County judge on Friday will consider a motion for a new trial for convicted wife killer Drew Peterson, and it's expected the judge could ask Peterson point blank whom he wants for an attorney.
Early indications are that Joel Brodsky, Peterson's lead attorney throughout the trial, may be on the way out.
Attorney Darryl Goldberg, who quit Peterson's legal team during the trial, told NBC 5's Charlie Wojciechowski that four sheriff's deputies were guarding the room where Peterson is waiting for the hearing in order to keep Brodsky out.
The hearing was scheduled after Naperville attorney John Paul Carroll filed a motion earlier this week blaming attorney Brodsky for botching the case.
But Brodsky says Carroll didn't have the authority to file such a motion and was only brought on by Peterson to represent the former Bolingbrook police sergeant in his fight to preserve his pension.
Brodsky said he spoke to Peterson on Thursday.
"He says I'm his guy," Brodsky told NBC Chicago.
A spokeswoman with Carroll's office, however, said attorneys there met with Peterson Thursday in a one-hour, face-to-face contact.
"He wants us to represent him," said Michelle Gonzales.
Furthermore, Peterson told Carroll he wanted attorney Steve Greenberg to argue the motions of ineffective counsel for him.
Brodsky fired Greenberg from the team a month ago, claiming Greenberg failed "to perform and accomplish the task for which he was hired." Greenberg later fired back, sharing with the media a 15-page letter in which he called Brodsky a bully and a dictator.
Peterson was convicted Sept. 7 of first-degree murder in the drowning death of Kathleen Savio, his third wife. Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, disappeared in October 2007.
Peterson faces a maximum 60 years in prison for the conviction. His sentencing is Nov. 26.

This notice covers all integrated services provided to you by Frisbie Memorial Hospital and any member of its medical staff together as an organized health care arrangement pursuant to the Federal Privacy Rule. It applies to medical and payment records for all services provided to you, regardless of whether specific services are provided by Hospital employees, providers under contract to the Hospital, or independent members of our medical staff.
If your physician is an independent member of the medical staff, he/she may have different policies or notices regarding their use and disclosure of your health information created and used in the physician's office.
Understanding Your Health Information
Each time you visit a hospital, physician, or other healthcare provider, a record of your visit is made. Typically, this record contains your symptoms, examination of test results, diagnoses, treatment and a plan for future care or treatment. This information, often referred to as your health or medical record, serves as:
- A basis for planning your care and treatment;
- A means of communication among the many health professionals who contribute to your care;
- A legal document describing the care you received;
- A means by which you or a third-party payer can verify that services billed were actually provided;
- A tool in educating health professionals;
- A source of data for medical research;
- A source of information for public health officials charged with improving the health of the nation;
- A source of data for facility planning and marketing;
- A tool with which we can assess and continually work to improve the care we render and the outcomes we achieve.
Understanding what is in your record and how your health information is used helps you to:
- Ensure the accuracy of your health record;
- Better understand who, what, when, where and why others may access your health information;
- Make more informed decisions when authorizing disclosure to others.
Our Pledge Regarding Your Health Information
We understand that information about your health, the medical services we provide to you, and the payment for those services, is personal and private. The Privacy Rule refers to these records as "Protected Health Information," or PHI. We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of your protected health information. Individuals will be notified promptly if a breach of unsecured PHI occurs, and corrective action will be taken.
How We May Use and Disclose Your Health Information
The following describes various ways in which we may use and disclose your health information. We will ask for your written consent before releassing relating to mental health or substance abuse treatment, HIV/AIDS testing, or genetic testing. Not every use or disclosure in a category is listed. However, the various ways we are permitted to use and disclose information will fall within one of these categories:
For Treatment
We may use and disclose medical information about you to provide you with medical treatment or services. Examples of uses of your health information for treatment purposes are as follows:
- A nurse obtains information about you and records it in a health record.
- During the course of your treatment, the physician determines he/she will need to consult with another specialist in the area. He/she will share the information with such specialist and obtain his/her input.
For Payment
We may use and disclose health information about you so that the treatment services you receive at the hospital may be billed and a payment may be collected from you or an insurance company. An example of use of your health information for payment purposes is as follows:
- We submit requests for payment to your health insurance company. The insurance company requests information from us regarding your medical care. We will provide information to them about you and the care given.
For Healthcare Operations
We may use and disclose your health information for hospital operations. These uses and disclosures are necessary to run the hospital and make sure that all of our patients receive quality care. For example, we may use medical information to review the quality of our care and services and to evaluate the performance of the staff in caring for you. We may "de-identify" your health information (i.e. remove information that identifies you) so others may use it to study health care and health care delivery without learning who the specific patients are. An example of use of your health information for health care operations is as follows:
- We may use or disclose your health information for quality assessment, quality improvement, outcome evaluation, protocol and clinical guidelines development, training programs, credentialing, medical review, legal services and insurance.
Appointment Reminders and Treatment Alternatives
We may use and disclose your health information to contact you as a reminder that you have an appointment for treatment or medical care at the hospital or your doctor's office, or to tell you about treatment alternatives or health-related benefits or services that may be of interest to you.
Marketing is a communication about a product or service that encourages recipients of the communication to purchase or use the product or service.
Use and disclosure for marketing generally requires your written authorization. Health related products or services can be generally marketed to individuals provided FMH is prominently disclosed, and an opt-out capability is included in the marketing communication. Newsletters are not required to have an opt-out. If you do not want the hospital to contact you for marketing purposes, you may complete a Marketing/Fundraising Opt-Out Request Form FM-2295 (8/05) located in the Patient Registration Department.
We or an affiliated foundation may use information about you to contact you in an effort to raise money for the hospital and its operations. We will only use contact information, such as your name, address and phone number and the dates you received treatment or services at the hospital. If you do not want the hospital to contact you for fundraising efforts, you may complete a Marketing/Fundraising Opt-Out Request Form FM-2295 (8/05) located in the Patient Registration Department.
Business Associates
There are some services provided in our organization through contracts with business associates. Examples include records retention and destruction services. When these services are contracted, we may disclose your health information to our business associate so that they can perform the job we've asked them to do. To protect your health information, however, we require the business associate to sign a contract pledging to safeguard your information.
Facility Directory
We will ask if we may use your name, location in the facility, general condition, and religious affiliation in our facility directory for census purposes. This information may be provided to members of the clergy and, except for religious affiliation, to other people who ask for you by name.
We may use or disclose information to notify a family member, personal representative, or another person responsible for your care, of your location and general condition.
Family or Friends Involved in Care
We may ask if we may disclose any necessary health information to a family member, other relative, or close friend who may need to be involved in your care or the payment for your care.
As Required By Law
We will use and disclose medical information about you when required to do so by federal, state or local law. Examples include reporting suspected child and/or elder abuse or neglect, or gunshot wounds or other injuries believed to have been caused by a criminal act.
Special Situations
To Avert A Serious Threat to Health or Safety
We may use and disclose medical information about you when necessary to prevent a serious threat to your health and safety or the health and safety of the public or another person. Any disclosure, however, would only be to someone able to help prevent the threat.
Organ Procurement Organizations
Consistent with applicable law, we may disclose health information to organ procurement organizations or other entities engaged in the procurement, banking, or transplantation of organs for the purpose of tissue donation and transplant.
Military and Veterans
If you are a member of the armed forces, we may be required to release medical information about you as required by military command authorities.
Coroners, Medical Examiners, and Funeral Directors
Disclosure of protected health information to Coroners or Medical Examiners may be necessary, for example, to identify a deceased person or determine the cause of death.
Under certain circumstances, we may use or disclose medical information about you for research purposes. For example, a research project may involve comparing the health and recovery of all patients who received one medication to those who received another, for the same condition. Any research use not specifically authorized by you in writing is subject to a special approval process designed to ensure that the confidentiality of your records is protected.
Worker's Compensation
We may release medical information about you for worker's compensation or similar programs.
Public Health Reporting
We may disclose health information about you for public health activities, such as: to prevent or control disease, injury or disability; to report births or deaths; to report reactions to medications or problems with products; to notify people of recalls of products they may be using; or to notify a person who may have been exposed to a disease or may be at risk for contracting or spreading a disease or condition.
Health Oversight Activities
We may disclose medical information to a health oversight agency for activities such as audits, investigations, inspections and licensure.
Lawsuits and Disputes
If you are involved in a lawsuit or dispute, we may disclose medical information about you in response to a court or administrative order. We may also disclose medical information about you in response to a subpoena, discovery request, or other lawful process by someone else involved in the dispute, but only if efforts have been made to tell you about the request or to obtain an order protecting the information requested.
