The individual presented herself as a "transgender female” seeking to gain experience in the mental health field. Was given a probationary period at our clinic to get a feel for the environment. Unfortunately the individual abused confidentiality agreements by accessing records of local patients arbitrarily and subsequently sharing them with his/her friends. The clinic received an unexpected call from a local pharmacist stating that an unusual dosage of hormone therapy was prescribed by our attending physician electronically. This hiring decision introduced an unreasonable amount of liability and uncertainty amongst staff. After confronting Elle about these issues, she did not return to the clinic but had the audacity to attempt to fill one of the fraudulent prescriptions. We cancelled all of her access to our billing system and notified local counseling offices. Before hiring this individual, you should look into their own mental health background to avoid being placed in the same situation.
