Re: I thought April 1st came early

EDIT: Ok, this is based in the U.K., so HIPAA as I know it might not exist. HOWEVER, there is a phone number that is directed towards ROI....return of investment...suicide...?

a) we have the Data Protection Act instead of HIPAA, so the legality is still up for debate

b) in the UK, "RoI" when mentioned alongside phone numbers usually refers to the Republic of Ireland (country code +353)
