Farrah Fawcett opened QUITE a can of worms when she complained to UCLA hospital that medical information about her cancer treatment had been leaked to The National Enquirer. An internal investigation turned up administrative specialist LaWanda Jackson as the perp, and she’s facing criminal charges for viewing a thousand patients’ personal records without a legitimate reason. But as the hospital investigated further, LaWanda turned out to be the tip of the iceberg. Actually, closer to 127 nosey employees had peeked at celebrities’ records – including Britney Spears’. The hospital is in a dither – they can’t fire EVERYONE! Layoffs and penalties are in the works.
