Somehow Adam Schefter obtained JPP's medical records and posted them online. I don't know the penalties, however, I think that hospital is about to get nailed.
 
I've been out of town....fill me in, who is "JPP"?
 
Jason Pierre-Paul, DE for Giants (FA right now), blew up his hand playing with fireworks.
 
He lost one finger (allegedly).

CJ Wilson of the Bucs, lost 2 fingers in a separate fireworks accident.

What maroons.
 
my first thought as well OP - somebody may be paying a hefty HIPPA fine and facing a privacy lawsuit
 
they won't post Erika Kinsman's name but they put this dude's medical records out there. smh
 
Not just JPP's info. Another person's info is in the photo too according to the twitterverse last night.

The crazy thing is he had no reason to post the photo except to thumb his nose and shout "look at me". It will be interesting to how many sources he does loose if any.
 
Not sure what I think is worse - that some dirtbag leaked his medical records, or that the dirtbags at espn published them.

Hope they all get hammered - the hospital employee that leaked them, schefter, and espn. The hospital, not so much. I don't fault them for the dishonesty of an employee, and even if they do get hammered in the long run all it will do is cause everyone's insurance rates to go up.
 
Barring JPP gave any medical release, the hospital will likely get fined, and if traced to a specific person, that employee could face jail time. What Shefter did was lawful. It was also very sleazy.
 
The UCLA Medical Center was fined $1 million for employees merely looking at the medical records of movie stars. They didn't release them. Schefter gets most of his inside information from the front office and not from the players, so I doubt he'll be black balled. However, listening to ESPNRadio--all the talking heads seem to be carrying the corporate water bucket and saying he did nothing wrong from an ethical view.

Sports reporting has become a joke. I got into a twitter battle last night with this douche ND graduate. If you are a Rome fan, you'd know him as Sean Cablinasian. He's on the radio here in Houston and is god awful. He goes on a tangent about FSU and DeAndre, etc. Of course, brings up Jamies, etc. So I question him on why he made the comparison as they are completely different situations. Asked if he had read the actual reports or just the summaries on ESPN and NYT (none of the idiot on sports radio here have actually read the reports). Then, I questioned his bias and ability to properly report -- showing that he has never brought up Brian Kelly killing that GA (my mistake was calling him Chip Kelly--I had a few pops in my) and the ND female student that the ND faithful bullied her to such an extent that she killed herself.....he ended up banning me.
