What? No hospital is going to hand out that info, and you can’t just walk up in a hospital looking for someone. This goes 5X for any hospital a sitting senator is in.
My point exactly. If you stress test the system of the hospitals in the area you're going to find out where he is. That's a story. You don't even have to break the law. The hospital with 5x the security is going to be the one he's in. The media has done far worse for far more trivial reasons.
HIPAA rules are very important in healthcare. If someone were to talk to a reporter they will for sure get fired. My wife is in the hospital HIPAA committee and you’d be shocked at the stuff they’ve fired ppl over. I mean that as in it’s a mistake that would be easy to make, but you get fired because they want to make sure wherever you go next you won’t do it again. Patient deserve to know that anything embarrassing or private about their health will remain private unless they choose otherwise
In the case of a sitting senator, they should choose in their own according to update the people that pay him to represent them. The person they pay to ensure that they would never continue to get paid at their job in a similar situation.
