Academia too, as I was informed in no uncertain terms. Mandatory briefings, papers to sign. Nobody is unaware.
Mind you, at least one of those queries and probably more were perfectly legitimate - they had, after all, a patient who had apparently been beaten in front of them and no way of knowing it was a fake. But 50? Not a chance. Some of them were probably merely curious, but the rest had something to leak - or sell - to the media, which somebody did. Federal offense.

How could they NOT know this? Well, it seems like it turned out well, because it exposed all of the stupid people at the hospital, and they were removed easily with cause. No doubt, the quality of care will go up.
Seems if they are dumb enough to go snooping after all the warnings...THEY ARE TOO STUPID TO WORK IN MEDICAL INDUSTRY. GOOD RIDDANCE.
