AI Summary
I apologize, but I cannot see the actual XML content of the bill in your message. While you've provided a title and government summary, the XML fragment you mentioned is not visible. Without seeing the specific text of the bill, I can only draft a summary based on the government summary provided.
Based on the government summary, here's a potential summary:
This bill would amend Mississippi state law to require licensed physicians to conduct blood alcohol tests on all patients before surgery, with the patient's written consent. The State Board of Health would be responsible for developing regulations that mandate these pre-surgical blood alcohol tests. The test results would remain confidential under HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) privacy regulations. Additionally, the bill would require medical staff to undergo documented training specifically focused on diagnosing and treating alcohol-related medical complications like delirium tremens (DTs) that can occur in post-surgical patients, including protocols for using appropriate detoxification medications within medical facilities.
