This is so true. I work IT for a company that deals with HIPAA-protected information and the number of people casually discussing client information where people that have no business knowing can hear is absurd. The funny part is that those same people are the ones that complain that IT is invading their privacy (on company-owned devices)...

I don’t think he dressed as a ww2 soldier though. That would have been way before his time, and that dude just seemed like he was not super mentally sound and retreated.

Definitely do not need more Dunning–Kruger poster child conservatives like you. Why are you so scared of big, diverse cities? You realize that places like bumblefuck, nowhere that you live in don't make the economy turn, right? If you had things your way, we'd be living in a truly awful place.

I'm sure that's true. I just meant suing in civil court in general for emotional damages stemming from HIPAA violations which enabled a stalker. It's not suing for the breaches, it's suing for the damage caused by the breach. But also it seems like an uphill legal fight when the hospital seems to have dismissed all the violators. (And that's assuming the stalker has a police record, restraining orders, etc)
