Patient Privacy Rights Violation

Summary

In Oklahoma, medical professionals must respect patient privacy, and patients can request a same-gender professional for personal procedures. If you feel your rights were violated during a drug test by a medical professional of the opposite gender, you should contact a civil rights or medical malpractice attorney.
