Hospital workers in big trouble after leaking George Clooney's medical records

Just weeks after George Clooney was injured in a motorcycle accident and taken to Palisades Medical Center, CBS 2 HD has exclusively learned that dozens of employees, including doctors and nurses, have been suspended for accessing Clooney’s confidential information. CBS 2 HD has learned as many as 40 employees are being investigated, with more than two dozen already suspended without pay after being accused of accessing Clooney’s medical records and giving that information to the press — which is a violation of federal law.

“It was inappropriate but they are paying a steep price. But I don’t even think George Clooney would want people to pay. Again, the apology to him for his privacy rights (is necessary), but I think in fact the hospital is overreacting,” says Jean Oterson of the HPAA.

Absolutely NOT did they not overreact, are you freaking kidding me?!?!?!!? Their asses should be FIRED. There is so many things wrong with leaking private medical info that I don’t even know where to start. Dang.
