as a doctor I knew all about HIPAA...and for my photos got all sorts  
of permissions, lawyers, signed permits etc, followed all the rules...

in spite of that Tina, there is always the threat of do-gooders who  
assume wrong doing....

so one bit of advice...re HIPAA...don't get into the water unless you  
are ready to swim with the sharks,


thanks Tina for looking, reacting, and your very good question,

and good luck,


Steve
