I was resently fired from my job for HIPAA violation. My
co-workers boyfriend call the hospital I worked at and
said I was telling people that when he came into the ER he
had track marks on his arms. I did not do this and issued
a statement to my job. I told them that what was in his
chart was shown to be by another employee along with other
people eveyone that seen the chart made comments I did not
tell anyone in the public. I was fired along with another
employee that was not in the room at this time.
Appartently another employee told her about the patient.
We were fired not the employee that showed the
information. I feel that this was wrong and want to know
what can I do. All of this came up after this employee
was sent home under the influence one day and myself and
the other employee has a problem with her being at work
like that and made a comment to the manager. Two days
later her boyfriend files this complaint. I feel that I
was fired for something that I had no part of. If I'm
fired why not fire everyone that had something to do with
the incident. Why can't I see the statement that were
made against me or meet my accuser. I want to know what I
can do because I feel that I was wrongly fired
