Hospital Fined for Leaking Suleman Records

I’ve said it about a million times before. I think being famous would stink. Especially when you’re sick. With the recent report that one hospital leaked records from Farrah Fawcett’s recent medical stay is just one example. Now, Kaiser Permanente’s Bellflower Hospital has been fine $250,000 for “failing to keep employees from snooping in the medical records of Nadya Suleman.”

While I think it’s a great idea that a hospital can be fined when their employees snoop into medical records, it’s an even bigger threat when that employee decides to sell that information to the tabloids. I know we all have a fascination for the lives of celebrities, but people deserve their privacy.
