There’s a follow-up to a breach lawsuit involving an employee of Guthrie Health System who shared a patients’ sensitive medical information with a third party – and privacy advocates will not be happy. As I first noted in March 2011, “John Doe” sued Guthrie Health System after a nurse sent embarrassing text messages about his…
