They did it again!
According to a new LA Times report, the UCLA Medical Center worker who peeked into the confidential medical records of Farrah Fawcett also improperly viewed the files of 32 other celebrities, politicians and high-profile patients, including Arnold the Governator's wife, Maria Shriver.
However, UCLA assures us that the rogue snooper probably did not share any info with the tabloids, based on a review of the employee's e-mails and phone calls.
Or so they would like us to believe!!!
Did they check the employees home phone or computer? The snooper could have cut the deals outside of the hospital!
Celebs should start bringing their lawyers, armed with hefty confidentiality agreements, to their UCLA doctor's appointments.

What won't people do these days?

thats horrible..
I work as a RN in a hospital. You have to sign a confidentiality agreement when you are hired. That there are hospital workers doing this kind of thing is just reprehensible. Because of HIPPA, the new confidentiality laws, that worker at UCLA could not only be fined a LOT of money but also could technically get some jail time. If you come to the hospital you should expect a certain level of care and UCLA has totally violated that standard. Shame on them and their workers.
"Celebs should start bringing their lawyers, armed with hefty confidentiality agreements, to their UCLA doctor's appointments." really perez- then where would you get all your information from?
I met Farrah several times and she is just great. She has such wonderful energy and is quite funny not to mention her rocking body and look.
I wonder if anyone looked up Richard Gere's Xrays?
There HAS to be zero tolerance. Accessing personal medical records is illegal. Even more so, it's completely medically unethical. A person who is sick in hospital needs to trust that institution to take care of them as they try to get well. Protecting and trusting that their medical privacy is being gaurded while they can't fend for themselves is an integral part of that care package. It has to be assumed the information, if accessed by unrelated personnel, COULD be shared.
NEXT THING YOU KNOW SOMEONE'S GONNA STEAL PEREZ' RECORDS FROM HIS PROCTOLOGIST! OH SNAP. OH NO I DIDN'T!!!! TEE HEE

NO Holla, i don't remember that, but i do remember sitting on the school bus with spics sitting in front of me and when they got off the bus……eeeeeeeeeeeee!!! i leaned over the seat to talk to someone….and my hand touched the grease the island monkey spics made on the seats it was FUCKIN HORRIBLE!eeeeeeeeeeeee
the grease where the island monkey spic laid his greasy head…yuuuuuuuuuck! remember that nightmare for all times…… when the spic got up to return to his crime infested ghetto barrio and out fell the stale government cheese that spics live on….out fell the food stamps they use to but their lunches……out fell the knives they use to stab their teachers and all the other kids…..and out fell the crack rocks they stole from their fat ugly welfare beastly mommies…eeeeeeeeeeeeeeehow can i forget those horrible nightmares of Puerto Rican Spics ruining my childhood….eeeeeeeeeee..the memories of my hand slipping through the spic grease on the bus seat..eeeeeee.how my poor white hand slid through the stinky gunk where the island monkey spics layed their heads….eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!i am tarnished for life…….eeeeeeee!!!
HIPAA violation which is a federal offense. They should sue UCLA medical center for that.
Re: EMINEM – This poster = some guy with very dysfunctional upbringing…twisted mister…
can the employee face legal consequences of this aswell as the obvious employment ones? there needs to be an example made so this does not happen in the future.
Re: HIPAA –
That's true. And that's why the rags wouldn't print any of that dirt either, even if they did get it from the snooper.
That employee needs to be fired. Or maybe we should peek into their personal records?
Re: aaaaaaaaaaaaa – That's true! I wasn't even thinking of that one. Hopefully that answers his question why this information doesn't come out because the rags would be part of the law suit also.
"Celebs should start bringing their lawyers, armed with hefty confidentiality agreements, to their UCLA doctor's appointments. "
and if i were their doctor, i'd tell them to find another practitioner. Doctors and nurses are already required to sign such confidentiality agreements, so making them sign another isn't going to do a hell of a lot of good, and makes the person demanding them to do so look like a pompous, ignorant, ass.
of course you WOULD think that celebrites should use their money and clout to get special treatment…
If I ever get famous, please remind me not to go to UCLA Medical Center…
Holding offenders accountable will go a long way in curing curious cats.
Just the Spics, thanks for the compliment though.
No Holla, as stated above: I only hate the greasy liced nappy headed big nose spics who look like they are wearing a busted out oil can on their heads, can't you read sweetheart. Now remember, what you commented on last week, that what matters most is what you think and believe…If you don't mind…It don't matter…But if you care…Beware! Don't mind me honey, I'm just having a bit of fun.
OH HOLLA, don't get it twisted, you are a spic and I would never ever kiss a spic. Imitation is the highest form of flattery sweetheart.
Oh, Poo-rez, you know you'd effing jump at the chance to get information from that person.
have they never heard of a payphone or disposible cell phone. If she is selling info to the tabloids - she's gonna cover her tracks. MORONS.
I work at UCLA Medical Center, and it's a pretty tight ship their. SO whoever did this, will be fired. And by the way…. in May the medical center moves into a new hospital where security of patients info will be extremely difficult to access if they are not under your direct care.
Re: Heather – YEah shame on the people that did that. But you can't blame the entire hospital. It only takes one person to make the #3 hospital in the country look bad.
UCLA (and Cedars?) have to establish better security measures to make access to records more difficult. It doesn't do much good to find records have been accessed AFTER the fact.
There are computers both inside and outside of these hospitals that provide access to records. I went to a private doctor's office, he's allowed to practice at Cedars. He sat there in his examining room and accessed all of my Cedar's records on a little computer. Same is true with UCLA. I go to an allergist's office who has permission to practice at UCLA. They can access all of my medical records from their office. Computer access is all over the place.
UCLA has to come up with better security systems for their records. A few years ago a hacker accessed tens of thousands of alumni records from UCLA's "secure" system. Info included stuff like Social Security numbers. Should anyone have more confidence in their security for medical records???
UCLA, and the NPI Hospital- Semel Institute, are notorious for their behavior. I have worked at UCLA for over 20 years and have seen it all. Professors harass employees (both sexually and racially) and the university is bound to protect the professor/doctors. UCLA reps knowingly lie rather that just admit fault and take care to the situation. There are several doctors/professors who have had several lawsuits filed against them, still working at the university. Rather than take away the professor/doctors tenure and fire the guilty…the university systematically get rid of "trouble makers" and cross their fingers that the guilty has learned their lesson. There is a reason why they are labeled "Repeat Offenders". Don't fool yourselves UCLA, like many educational institutions, are no longer schools..they are corporations.
Upon medical examination of FARRAH - a implanted chip was discovered - it came back with an address to the PLAYBOY mansion - HUGH HEFNER came and claimed her as an escaped MONKEY from the animal compund from the mansion - they put her in a cage and hauled her monkey ass back to the HOLLYWOOD HILLS
She looks really pretty - a wee bit too skinny but otherwise fantastic! The person leaking that info should be fired and CHARGED!
Gorgeous woman inside and out.
should have gone to USC
Television has never before or since produced a more beautiful and exciting actress.
Love this bitch!
Re: Tree – Why do you allow this asshole to keep posting his loser web-site here? Are you getting paid? So annoying to keep reading this shit day in and day out. His whole posts are always stupid and nonsensical.
Maybe it wasn't cancer
just took a couple of months to detox her!
This is, unfortunately, extremely common. I work at a large medical center and the administration monitors who accesses patients' medical records. FYI, you can have access to your medical records locked so that no one can get into them unless the medical records department unlocks them. Can create a bit of a problem when you have an appointment though.
