sorry for the spinoff from thread: I remember years ago when there was a scare with non-Jewish nannies watching Jewish kids. And this is true - not heard from internet.
A Mummy while putting her kids to bed wanted to say "Shema" with them. Her kids got out of bed, knelt on the floor, made the sign of the cross, and started reciting a non-Jewish prayer!!!
To say that Mom was shocked is an understatement!!!
It happpened to quite a few families at the same time, a few when saying Shema, others when Mom wanted to say Birkat Hamazon with her kiddies, and others at specific times in the day the kid would suddenly kneel and do/say the above mentioned.
There was an uproar, and the incidents were traced to the non-Jewish full time nannies who were watching these tender Jewish children.
The nannies admitted to the charge.
This is not a figment of anyone's imagination. It's a true horrible event. Hashem Yerachem.
After that, Jewish Mom's were very hesitant in hiring non-Jewish nannies to take care of their kids.
sad real story.

I think you need to look up the definition of horrible event. I can think of a lot of worse things.

Yes, I can translate!
I just don't see how the word CHOP translates into the word hospital!
and the differences between British English and American English cannot be translated.
It's not like translating to a completely foreign language.
Squishy, let's hear you 'translate' - jumper, pavement, trolley, napkin, boot, pinafore dress, drip, pupil... okay, enough for the first lesson and in this case - Casualty dept.

I don't understand what you are trying to say.
so for you - a non-Jewish nanny teaching Jewish kids goyisher prayers and religion/religious symbols is not a horrible event. Fine.
Perhaps if murder or kidnapping would have been involved chas v'Shalom, then you'd place it in the "horrible event" category.
For others, their kids being taught daily non-Jewish religion and prayers and symbols is not just a horrible event, but a horrendous nightmare, and no - they aren't being dramatic.

Actually, it's Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. It's got a solid reputation so the doctors in Lakewood refer their patients there (despite the distance). May the staff there continue to be good shlichim for all cholim.

Silly question but is this common practice to take a baby nurse?
I've never heard of such a thing among frum people.

Not in US. But I have friends & family in US & never heard of such practice.
Don't mothers in Lakewood nurse their babies? I get a babysitter to help with older kids when there's a newborn but a baby nurse? How do people even afford that.

Baby nurses (nurse here referring to 'a person who works in a nursery', not a certified medical nurse) are paid minimum wage, or less.

A relative of mine used one recently. The mother was hospitalized with complications and came home very weak so she needed help with the newborn. also many people with multiples take help after the baby.

Absolutely! I know him and he is an amazing person and doctor, however, I can't say the same for some of the staff. (Who may have overheard something, and like the game of telephone, some facts got bent.)

In Lakewood, it's become very popular in the last few years or so.

I think CPearls is referring to breast-feeding?
I know that in England women "nurse" their baby - meaning breast-feed their baby.
the word "nurse" as in- I nurse my baby, means - I breast-feed my baby.
another case of BE and AE mix-up

They all are required to follow confidentiality but HIPAA covers a lot more than that. If your doctor did not conduct business online, took cash only and didn't accept insurance (as that is online to some extent), and followed a few other strict guidelines they would not have to do HIPAA. One example is a solo practice private pay PT, therapist or other medical professional who is not part of a hospital, insurance group etc.
Like I said very few places it doesn't apply to.

Why, because non-Jews respect privacy more than Jews?
I was told very personal information about a relative of mine by my non-Jewish beautician....have gone elsewhere since then. But she's not bound by HIPPA laws.
My sister is a pediatrician, and she doesn't tell her husband who her patients are - he finds out when they approach him in shul and tell him stuff. Believe me, frum doctors don't want to be sued...their staff is warned and educated about this all the time....

Same situation here.. I am a therapist and people are always making comments to my dh about me treating their kids- assuming he knows. I don't tell him a thing. The other frum therapists I know are very very careful as well.

I'm a life coach, and I NEVER tell DH about my clients! 1. I don't want his input, and 2. It's just not professional, even though I have no legal obligation regarding privacy. For me, it's simply a moral issue, and a line I would never cross.
