My wife and I recently had a baby. Unfortunately, he died
the next day. He was very sick. We were devistated. The
night after he died, while at the hospital, we received
several phone calls on my wife's cell phone at
approximately 1:00am. We ignored the first few calls, but
then we gave up and my wife answered the phone. A lady
who was not affiliated with the hospital stated that she
heard our baby died and she wanted to know if we would
like to donate are baby's organs and tissue. We were
shocked. She put a ton of pressure on us to make a
decision right then and there. My wife was a mess. I
Finally just told her to say no and hang up. We have no
idea how this person got my wife's cell phone number. We
did not give the hospital permission to give out our
information. The hospital could not or would not tell us
who gave out our information. Question: is this a
violation of the Hippa laws of California?
