There is no patient identifiers in this photo.
But since you brought it up, I doubt I will ever post another photo.
It’s a shame I can’t be proud of doing a good job and posting an educational photo without somebody bringing up HIPAA.
eh, i know the rules; wasn't trying to enforce them!
i appreciate good surgeons!
went to a torso lab for surgeon training when i ran the clinical research department for a company that made most of its money from hernia products.... many a gut was accidentally perforated!
when i had an abdominal myomectomy, i appreciated the surgeon who showed me pictures of the approx ten pounds of fibroids that were removed.
it's a fine line (i didn't see any moles on the junk you posted; not sure about date alignment in terms of phi)
