The LA Times’ blog “Dish Rag” is reporting that fifteen employees of Kaiser Permanente have been fired and eight disciplined for looking at the medical records of Nadya Suleman (aka the Octomom).

“We always provide training on the importance of patient privacy and confidentiality,” hospital rep Jim Anderson told . “We knew from the time she was admitted to the hospital in December, this case would attract attention. Numerous training sessions were held to remind people of the need to keep the information confidential.”
Eight other employees at the hospital in Bellflower, Calif., also were disciplined.
While there’s no reason to believe that any information was leaked to the media (oh,yeah, right …), Anderson says to LA Now, “this was human nature and curiosity that got the best of people.”
