In a report from the Shunyi Public Security Bureau in Beijing, the official said: "Recently, the Shunyi Public Security Bureau investigated and dealt with a case of disseminating other people's privacy. After investigation, on December 11, Fu Moumou (male, 36 years old) took advantage of his convenience of working in a hospital in Shunyi District to take photos of a patient's personal medical records and send them to a WeChat group for the purpose of showing off, resulting in the spread of information and causing a bad social impact. At present, the Shunyi Public Security Bureau has placed Fu Moumou under administrative detention in accordance with the law. ”
Many netizens were indignant at the leak and condemned the hospital staff for having "no bottom line".
According to the criminal law of the mainland, the act of selling or providing citizens' personal information to others is a serious act, or the act of selling or providing citizens' personal information to others in the course of performing duties or providing services, constitutes the crime of infringing on citizens' personal information.
In fact, "leaking private medical records" is not unique to the entertainment industry. In the superstar-studded sports circle, privacy leaks also occur frequently. The athlete's injury has even become a public topic of discussion among some Internet celebrity bloggers.
In September, a doctor broke the details of the examination of Chinese basketball star Zhou Qi on the Internet, which scared many fans. Prior to this, the news that "Yao Ming was rumored to be critically ill" attracted a lot of attention. These practices are actually to attract traffic with the privacy and medical problems of celebrities.
For players, injuries are private. In the fancy world of sports, "leakage of medical records" may rise to the political level and have a profound impact.
In 2016, many sports superstars, including the Williams sisters, the famous American tennis superstar, fell into a "hackgate". In the athletes' medical records stolen from the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), hackers have taken many of the biggest stars in the world of sports.
According to the database, the Williams sisters, four-time Olympic gymnastics champion Simon Biles, Rio Olympic cycling gold medalist Bradley Wiggins, Tour de France champion Chris Frome and others have all been exposed to banned drugs.
Against the backdrop of a mass ban for Russian athletes due to doping, these leaked medical records challenge the fairness and justice of the Olympic Movement.
In the world of sports, "leaked medical records" is also a money-making tool.
In October this year, the British media exposed the leaks of Manchester United Football Club. It is understood that an anonymous self-media account from Twitter often accurately forecasts the injury situation of Manchester United's first team, and the manager has a headache for this.
The reason for the suspicion of Manchester United is that before Manchester United officially confirmed the player's injury information, the self-media account was often able to accurately tweet about the injury, which raised the suspicion of Manchester United, and the club's management believed that it was related to internal leaks and could be involved in monetary transactions.
In Argentina, individual health care workers have flouted professional ethics and even caused national outrage.
In 2020, on the eve of the death of Argentine football king Maradona, a private doctor forged the old horse's signature on a form to request to view medical records without permission.
After Maradona's death, his family questioned Old Ma's personal doctor, Luke, and the prosecution launched an investigation into him. The police found several suspicious documents in Luke's home, among them an application form for viewing medical records, which he had forged Maradona's signature.
According to the identification of handwriting experts and the research of the prosecution, the handwriting on the document was not the handwriting of Maradona, but a forgery. According to the investigation, in order to achieve the simulation effect, the doctor practiced Xi Maradona's signature at home many times.
According to local law, medical records belong only to the patient himself, and only the patient can consent to others to see them, so it is illegal for a private doctor to see his medical records without Maradona's permission.
