Fifteen of Nadya Suleman’s employees were canned yesterday for looking through her medical records. Kaiser Permanente spokesperson Jim Anderson spoke out yesterday saying, "We always provide training on the importance of patient privacy and confidentiality. "We knew from the time she was admitted to the hospital in December, this case would attract attention. Numerous training sessions were held to remind people of the need to keep the information confidential." Aside from the 15 fired, 8 others were “disciplined.” The Kaiser rep says human nature got the better of the staffers. He says, "This was human nature and curiosity that got the best of people."

The report called them "Nadya's employees" but, Kaiser is involved so I assume they were the nurses Kaiser sent to train Nadya's nannies. Human nature, curiosity? Bullshit, any scandal concerning OctoTwat and that fucktard doctor who shot eggs into her attention starved rats nest like a kamikaze fertility freak will bring them big bucks. Kaiser needs to get the hell out of Nadya's business just like Allred and Angels. They're all whores. And aren't the damn nannies trained yet? For fucks sake. Nadya needs to get on with the reality show and can all these fuckers. It's pretty bad when she starts looking like the better person in these stories.

No doubt they were looking for psychological issues within her files.
It's kind of alarming that we just go ahead and trust people to respect our privacy. I think the majority of people are snoops and liars, not necessarily on a grand scale, but just in everyday life.
It wasn't the "nurses" that were dispatched to Suleman's residence who were found to be spying on the computer records. According the LA Times, it was a wide variety of hospital employees involved in the matter, "running the gamut from clerks to physicians" and the incidents date back several weeks. Although some were fired and others merely reprimanded after a thorough investigation by Kaiser, the hospital is confident the accused spied merely "to satisfy natural curiosity" and not for financial benefit.
I hope at least some of them got some good saleable shit to sell the tabloids!!
These stupid twats want to pump out human litters the size of small countries so they can whore out the kids and live the good life.
I'm hoping a few others get the jump and make a few buck first. A sort of ecconomy stimulas from the worlds biggest uterus....
This right to privacy crap is a joke. I had to pick up biopsy slides from the lab for my soon-to-be late husband so I could bring them to the hospital. They refused to release them to me citing the HIPA laws. In the meanwhile everyone in the lab, including clerks and the custodian had access to his information. I had to go back home and help my bedridden husband write a permission note to release the slides. What torment they put us through. It's 5 years now and it still pisses me off.
I'm in my third year of health information management. This is basically billing and coding with a fancy title. The privacy issues, and ethics for that matter, are taught to us over and over, but in real life your information is basically up for grabs. Anyone working in an office or hospital can look at health records.
I hate to say this, but I think it's merely a matter of weeks before they investigate this breeder and start placing her puppies in other homes.

Honestly, Ive not got a firm opinion on the octoMama, but I do think those people should have been fired,like some were,& examples made out of them. If any of them surface with info they are trying to sell they should be arrested. People should be able to go to a hospital & be assured that whatever they are there for will be kept confidential.
She looks like Michael Jackson. Lay off the knife, dear...
I have to agree with my9cats. I've spent more than thirty years in hospital health care. HIPPA is a bad joke. Most likely the intent was okay, but it is cumbersome, and probably not used the way it was intended. It reminds me of something the soviet block would have instigated. As a hospital nurse. . . if I have blood work drawn at the hospital, I am not allowed to access my results on the computer. It is a violation of HIPPA. However, when my husband was in radiology for a probable screening for appendicitis, the receptionist announced to the room in general that he was to have surgery. When we asked what for, she said she was not allowed to tell us that. Fuming silently, we went to admissions, where the admitting twats looked ominously at us, and told my husband and I that he was being checked in for surgery. When he asked what for, they looked gravely at each other and then said that they were not allowed to tell us. I said, "Wait a damn minute. We are not leaving these chairs until you tell us what he is being admitted for." They decided maybe they could tell us.
As far as the Octomom, people are just curious. I honestly think that's as far as it will go. Stupid of them to look at her records, but really, how much saleable info could you really get from that? It's really not that loaded with secrets. The interesting part would most likely be the social services notes. Other than that, who would really want to read how many times she got milk of magnesia, and how she rated her pain level? I understand the desire for privacy, and honestly, I really do try to protect that for my patients (their own families are the worst---always assuming they can ask intimate details just outside the room or at the nurses station) but I think the hospital doesn't really have to worry about much going to the tabloids.
