You got that right. I did some consulting work for a hospital that wouldn't even release the medical records of injured employees for a safety investigation by other staff of the hospital.

HIPAA regulations are so strict that a hospital in California was fined $4 million for an employee who lost a thumb drive with patient records on it.
