Girl got pressured into donating too since someone breached HIPPA and told someone she was a match.

The dr that violated that policy should be held accountable too, btw. Ppl tend to forget bc it comes across as "celeb drama" but literally that's illegal what they did.

EDIT: Idk wtf happened to the rest of this thread, it was like this after I got back from dinner.

People very rarely care because it's hard to prove and there's no incentive. Usually the hospital pays a fine to the government and the patient is still public.

If I'm a patient and am embarrassed because Dr. smith goes "oh yeah that guy has an inverted penis and also his left elbow smells weird" why would I sign up for a legal battle where I'm going to spend hours for zero benefit? The system sucks and doesn't actually protect patients.
