Has peering into the personal lives of celebrities gone too far? An internal computer audit at Palisades Medical Center in North Bergen, N.J. resulted in the suspension of 27 hospital employees who snuck a peek at George Clooney's medical records.
"None of the employees, each suspended for four weeks, were doctors treating Clooney, administrators said, raising a host of questions about who can view private medical information and what measures are in place to protect patients' privacy," ABC news reported.
The actor was taken to Palisades Medical Center on September 21st after he and Sarah Larson were injured in a motorcycle accident.
