The hospital employees were looking through Anne's medical records because the media has been covering so much of what really happened to Anne, so they wanted to know the truth. And, they do need to show the public a picture of the suspect from the video surveillance tape from the gas station on E. 9th St., I don't know why they haven't done that, they haven't even said what they found on the video surveillance, that would really help the public in finding this psycho monster.

Their firing probably had something more along the lines of this. http://whiterevolution.com/?p=277

In a hospital or medical office setting medical personal that have direct care and the need to chart medical informtion for the patient is the only persons allowed to view any patient chart. The attending physisian can have the chart barred from anyone if he wishes to do so. Patient confidential information is just that! They should been fined along with be fired!

What did they do? Pass them out to the media? Seems like firing a hospital employee for looking at medical records is a little rough. I thought they were allowed to do that.

Fired for looking at her medical records? Seems a little harsh to me.

Of course the LRPD don't have a clue - they're the biggest bunch of Barney Fifes I've ever seen. They haven't released the videotape of the killer using Anne's credit card at the Shell station on E. 6th - Why? Is it one of their own who killed Anne? Or just someone who has evidence of police corruption that the LRPD doesn't want getting out?
