* An apology is not enough *
Chain the relevant coworkers and the hospital administration to their desks and burn the place down...
Hospital attorneys are running low on face-palm.
HIPPA would being falling out of it’s chair with rage!
Right?
Sue them into oblivion. Hard to believe this story is true
This is so blatantly wrong that I can’t believe it’s actually true.
It’s times like these that I wish I’d gone to law school.
Is this satire?
Wow, they need a fishing trip with about 200 feet of old anchor chain
Little bit more than the Hill printed:
“McCann, who lived in Turner while she was working as a laboratory technician assistant at St. Mary’s, filed a complaint with the Maine Human Rights Commission in February 2017 claiming she was discriminated against because of a disability and the hospital retaliated against her when she complained to supervisors that employees posted confidential patient medical records for employees to see — including photos of genitalia — ridiculing disabled patients.
The patient records, cut and arranged in a collage and posted on the inside of a cabinet door, included information detailing unnamed patients’ sexual activity, genital dysfunction, bowel movements, bodily odors and other conditions or maladies.”
I can see they really care about their patients. Fire the lot of them. Then put up a wall of shameful ex-employees.
But if you care about your own medical privacy, you should know that the House just passed a national patient ID that would allow millions of corrupt bureaucrats in government to access your patient data with one number.
HPPA is a joke, on the back end there are at least 15 to 20 entities that have access to your information.
That said, what happened was wrong.
The malfactors were fired.
What else can the place do?
Oh I’m sure a suit is being filed seeking monetary compensation.
Oh you are right on that one. How this wall of shame was even allowed to remain for one minute is beyond me.
I never understood this type of behavior. Really, people go to hospitals for help. They are supposed to help the sick, not judge them. This is just wrong, and sorry isn’t enough sometimes....but it is a start.
