Truck Dumps Medical Records

(Cleveland, Ohio) A truck carrying a load from Marymount and Lakewood Hospitals dumped approximately 3,000 patient and billing records onto the streets of downtown Cleveland earlier today. Included in the records were "patient names, home addresses, insurers and policy numbers, treating physicians, admission and discharge dates and detailed billing information." Officials do not know why it happened.

Comforting, don't you think?
