Hong Kong hospital patient records left in a taxi

Su Xinqi and Emily Tsang report on the case of a missing brain. Okay, that’s unsettling, I agree, but I’m posting a link to their coverage because of what else was in the story:

Meanwhile, in a separate incident, Prince of Wales Hospital apologised on Friday evening after a staff member lost about 100 sheets of medical records containing the private information of hundreds of patients.

The incident occurred on Thursday evening. A member of the clerical staff had accidentally left the papers in a taxi after taking them out of the office.
