Re: disclosure of medical records to employer

I work in a field in which a degree of physical ability is required and we were submitted for physicals and back x-rays. We also completed psych profiles and medical "questionnaires" . Also in my position semi-annual physicals were required. Random an fairly frequent drug testing is also a reality. But with all this scrutiny, there was never a request for a general release for any and all medical records; and this was before HIPPA (and the vague "job suitabilty" counts as a specific resaon for HIPPA).

If that ever becomes a condition for continued employment, I agree with TAM, "they can pound sand". Hey that almost rhymes.
