Octomum Hospital Fined $250,000 For Invasion Of Privacy
The hospital where Octomom Nadya Suleman gave birth has been fined $250,000 for allowing an invasion of her privacy.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said on Friday that “Californians should never have to worry that their private medical information will be improperly shared,”
“This fine should be a reminder that there are consequences for violations of medical privacy.”
15 hospital workers were fired and 8 more were disciplined after they were caught looking at the medical records of Suleman.
Kaiser Permanente hospital in Bellflower reported the incident to the state themselves, which later led to the fine.
It is believed that the workers were searching for clues on the identity of her mystery sperm donor, which was not mentioned in her files.
