I have seen people lose their jobs over what you are suggesting. Anyone releasing medical info unauthorized are fired on the spot.

If I'm at work and I want to see whether or not a patient has had any other recent blood work done that I can add tests to the hospital can tell that I was in there looking.

We are not even allowed to access our own records without permission.

We were also one of the hospitals that had the victims of teh Amish school shooting. Nothing was leaked.

I'd wager it's already leaked. There probably isn't a Senate staffer or White House aide who hasn't been briefed on the actual current condition of the Senator, with or without Mrs. Johnson's permission. They couldn't be expected to do their jobs otherwise, unless they knew the true score, at least to the extent of "will he be back next week, next month, next year, or never?"

If that many know the truth, you can bet the Washington Media know it as well. They are sitting on the info and spiking the story for partisan reasons.

With all due respect, your hospital isn't GWU, located in the Heart of the Beast of partisan politics.
