The consequences deriving from the allegedly false hate crime report of Jussie Smollett are vast. The expression "collateral damage" is appropriate.
Whatever his fate, now that he was written out of his part on a TV show and indicted for 16 felony counts related to his allegedly false reporting of a hate crime, dozens of other people are suffering career catastrophes derived from the scandal's aftermath.
At least 50 employees may have been fired from Northwestern Memorial Hospital for accessing the medical profile and records of "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett without authorization, sources with knowledge of the situation said.
One of those employees — identified simply as Susan, to protect her identity — said that with one click of her mouse, she was fired from her job as a surgical nurse last week.

Well, hey, at least they got a fair trial, and... what's that? No trial? No hearings? No appeal? Thanks rktman.
Don’t believe a word of it.
This story was planted by the left to scare off people who have damning evidence against the racist Smollett. The Smollett story is extremely damaging to the leftists because people will start doubting, with good reason, everything from the leftist rats, especially the false claims of racism.
LOL! So NOW they issue new Medicare cards without your SS #. Like everybody and their friggin’ cousin don’t already have it. Despite the “SOCIAL SECURITY AND TAX PURPOSES ONLY. NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION” statement. At least the one I have from 1962 states that. ;-)
Nah. Nurses are easy to get. Temp agencies have dozens of Filipinos ready at a moments notice. All it takes is a phone call.
Yup. I know all about HIPPA. I work in a hospital(I’m that guy with the floor buffer who comes into your room when you’re trying to sleep, yup, that’s me) and I’ve been told about HIPPA. About every six months or so ALL employees have to go through the whole drill.
You’re right. I’ve worked in three nursing homes, two hospitals and I’m currently working in a third. Temp agencies have dozens of Filipino nurses at a moments notice. Just takes a phone call.
Surgical nurses?
It depends on location.
“Replacing nurses is next to impossible. Short sighted move”
I agree. If the hospital had proper security measures unauthorized employees wouldn’t be allowed to access the info.
Actually I’m not sure I even buy this story.
