  • Change it again, it is your phone not hers. Don't give it too her next time.
  • Let me rephrase that. I gave it to the Hospital for their in case of emergency,.Never gave it to her-She never saw it..But she called them and they gave it to her

    I find this kind of hard to believe.  She called the hospital and they gave her your phone number?  That's weird.

    But to answer your question, yes.  I'd be more than irritated.

  • If the hospital gave out your number, they are in violation of HIPAA and you can sue them. And yeah, change your phone number again.

    I would call and complain about this, and tell them you want to be reimbursed for any costs associated with switching your number.

    Apart from that, you don't need to provide the hospital with your number.  Provide your name, and the police can find you if there is a problem.

  • I call BS on the hospital giving her the #!!


  • It would bug the hell out of me, but I have to say, I would NOT have given it to the hospital as an emergency contact.

    She's a grownup. She can take care of herself and has somehow survived years  before you became her in-law and tried to rescue her.

    Not really: if it was given to them in association with SIL's account, it does not violate privacy laws.  It sounds like the hospital has the number as an emergency contact for SIL,. She has the right to any information associated with her account.

    Ah. I was reading it as part of OP's account, not crazy SIL's.

    I agree with this. Change it again, and don't give it to her.

  • The bigger question is why your DH isn't giving out HIS number as HIS sister's ICE contact. Or her parents, cousins, aunts/uncles, etc. Why would the SIL be the one?

  • Yes! I would be upset and annoyed and I would change the number again.

    Seriously, this. My SIL is crazy as a loon and has my DH's cell number not mine.
