Just weeks after George Clooney was injured in a motorcycle accident and taken to Palisades Medical Center,dozens of doctors and hospital employees were suspended after apparently leaking Clooney’s confidential information to the press.The 46-year-old actor suffered a broken rib and road rash while a companion riding with him suffered a broken foot in the collision with another vehicle.
Within minutes, the media seemed to know everything about Clooney’s condition, and sources say that hospital officials are now investigating whether or not their own employees may have leaked information about Clooney to the media.
40 employees have been suspended without pay and accused of accessing Clooney’s medical records and giving that information to the press — which is a violation of federal law
“It was inappropriate but they are paying a steep price. But I don’t even think George Clooney would want people to pay.
