Lamar Odom's privacy rights were reportedly violated by some staffers at Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center in Las Vegas. According to TMZ, those staffers were immediately fired after they were caught sneaking a picture of Lamar when he was battling for his life.
Multiple sources told the news outlet that some staffers even attempted to access the medical records of the former Los Angeles Lakers basketball star. Such action clearly violated the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability (HIPAA) Privacy Rule which protects the privacy of individually identifiable health information.
A spokesperson for the hospital told the website, "We take all patient privacy very seriously and follow all HIPAA policies in compliance with federal regulations." As of now, Lamar is treated at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles where he gets 24/7 security.
