In what way would HIPAA make a difference in your health science field?

Blogging has fulfilled a requirement for this course (ethics) and it has helped me learn how to set-up a blog. I will be blogging with freshman next semester (a freshman comp class with for health science majors) about ethics in health care. Please give me feedback on how to make the blogging better. I hope to have them replying to each other posts...but I am not sure what else would be helpful. Thanks for your feedback. Also--do any of your classes have facebook groups? What do you think of that possibility? Thanks Again.

Do you see it as 50/50 communication and science, or 40/60? How do these disasters inform your own technical communication work?

Does it come down to the technical communicator? Should technical writers be put in jail for sloppy work? Is the company ultimately at fault? What do you think?

Do you think Katz is right in questioning the place of speed and efficiency? Do you think he goes to far when he compares the everyday American workforce to that of the Nazis? Were you offended by his study and article (if so why)?

When you hear the word ethics what do you think of? Give a situation in which you think ethics are at work
