Zhou Haimei's death sparked heated discussions on the whole network, and the follow-up development was even more shocking.
On the evening of December 13, the preliminary results of the investigation were released, and the hospital insider revealed that two people involved in the leakage of medical records had been found and handed over to the police, one of the two involved was a hospital employee, and the other was a friend of the employee, and the employee involved has been suspended from practice, and the hospital is waiting for the results of further investigation by the police.
This incident touched the hearts of many netizens, and even Ye Xuan expressed his opinion. However, we can't help but ask, how to protect the privacy of public figures, what kind of legal liability will medical staff face for leaking medical records, and whether the privacy of public figures can be used commercially?
Medical staff who disclose patients' privacy and personal information will be liable for at least three levels of liability, including civil compensation, administrative penalties and criminal liability. In particular, the leakage of medical records involving public figures, if the circumstances are serious, will face criminal liability for fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years.
According to the law, without the consent of the celebrity artist himself or his representative, no unit or individual may use the celebrity artist's portrait, name, portrait right, name right, or other personality rights.
Therefore, the disclosure of medical records of public figures by medical professionals does not fall within the scope of commercial use under the law. The law clearly protects the privacy rights of public figures.
The disclosure of medical records by medical staff, whether directed at public figures or patients in general, is a serious violation of professional ethics and ethics in the medical industry. For public figures, they also enjoy the protection of privacy and should not fall prey to the illegal actions of others.
Healthcare professionals need to be mindful of their professional responsibilities at all times, strictly abide by laws and regulations, and protect patients' privacy and personal information.
In this incident, although the privacy issue of public figures has sparked heated discussions, it is more important how to strengthen the education and supervision of professional ethics and legal awareness of medical staff to avoid similar incidents from happening again.
At the same time, while enjoying the right to know and the right to express, public figures should also pay attention to their own privacy protection and strengthen their awareness of the confidentiality of personal information, so as to avoid being used or leaked by others. In the era of information explosion, privacy protection is particularly important.
Both ordinary people and public figures should be afforded equal legal protection. It is hoped that the relevant departments can strengthen the education and management of medical staff, so that they can firmly establish professional ethics, strictly abide by laws and regulations, and protect patients' privacy and personal information.
At the same time, public figures should also pay attention to the protection of their own privacy and not become victims of others' illegal acts. May privacy be better protected, and may everyone's privacy be respected and protected. The leakage of Zhou Haimei's medical records has aroused widespread concern in the society, how will the court's sentencing be considered?
The attitude of the suspect and the position of the victim's family will also be an important factor. Whatever the outcome, the impartial verdict will be finally revealed. Although we do not know the specific details of the leak of medical records and the motives of those who leaked them, the late Zhou Haimei should be treated with respect and privacy.
It is hoped that the law can give due punishment in time, end this incident, and let Zhou Haimei rest in peace.
