George Clooney Medical Records
Several medical professionals at the Palisades Medical Center in North Bergen, New Jersey have been suspended for selling George Clooney’s confidential medical information to the media after he was injured in a motorcycle accident last month. Someone probably started a site called Clooneybay.com or something retarded like that.
The 46-year-old actor suffered a broken rib and grazes in the crash on September 21, while his passenger, Sarah Larson, 28 (could be his daughter), broke her foot. WCBS-TV in New York reported that as many as forty employees, including doctors, were suspended without pay, after being accused of accessing George’s medical records and possibly providing information to the media, a violation of federal law. Things not listed in that report are penis minutous, assholeatosis, and a third nipple.
Federal law says that only direct caregivers - including doctors, nurses, technicians and support staff involved in a patient’s care - can see such information. This would be a HUGE lawsuit, not that George needs the money, but on principal I also agree.
“This is the first I’ve heard of it,� George Clooney said in a statement. “And while I very much believe in a patient’s right to privacy, I would hope that this could be settled without suspending medical workers.� Yeah right, Mr. Nice Guy. Nice cover there Cloonz.
