​It is so tempting to want to share stories of the things we see, especially in emergency medicine.  Maybe we just want to tell the world about something strange, or maybe we are being more innocent and want feedback or to answer questions.  However, patient confidentiality is a major issue and in the United States specifically we run into the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).
