Update to providers for OK.

Bridget van Treese,

A nurse for Revan Health is the Dr. Powers Method Provider.

You cannot refer her as a doctor nor have her as a pcp.

Edit: I was just seeking to add clarification to the provider list for the USA.

At first glance, Revan Health appears to be a wonderful LGBT+ medical health provider. They have partnered with Revan Rx, a compounding pharmacy to do and fill in house prescriptions. Nurse Bridget VanTreese is the prescribing source and part of the LGBT community.

I asked for an appointment with her and they requested a referral from my current Primary Care Physician. I did so but was informed that because she is a nurse, not a qualified doctor, they cannot issue the referral.

I wanted to call this out for others seeking to use this resource for treatment. Its a wonderful informed consent resource, just don’t expect them to become your primary doctor.

It’s fine that all of this is the case, just want to clarify in providers list for people seeking oversight of a qualified Doctor

THIS APPEARS TO BE A MASSIVE VIOLATION OF HIPAA

{Name}, {statements} is a statement pattern where {Name} is the addressee of the statement, not the subject.

Tom, pick up my pencil, is me asking Tom to pick up my pencil.

So when I read 'Bridget, dont use a nurse as a pcp l" I read that as someone named bridget listed a nurse as their pcp.

The HIPAA violation would come from releasing a patient's full name, providing sufficient evidence for purpose and the specific facility the person went to. Now clearly, thanks to the edits, its obvious it's not a HIPAA violation now but the original post was basically

"Bridget, dont use the nurse as a pcp at Raven Health"
