CT: Waterbury Saint Mary’s Hospital Patient X-Rays, Medical Information, Used By Radiology Tech Students Without Permission

Posted on April 23, 2012 by Dissent

The headline only tells half the story. George Gombossy reports that not only was this going on, but a student who raised the issue/concern was told to keep it secret. Many of the x-rays allegedly contained patients’ name, date of birth, and physician notes.

Sharp-eyed readers will be wondering why the instructor, who was a technician at the hospital, was able to remotely access patients’ records from the college without some monitoring software triggering an alarm or investigation.
