Well hey now; Operation Rescue actually proves some misconduct. Didn’t think we’d see the day.

Seriously, though: discarded medical records ought to be shredded when they go in any waste receptacle. I know the good folks at these clinics are under plenty of pressure already but this sort of lax handling of very sensitive personal information is inexcusable.

Whether or not the OR people were trespassing to grab these docs from a dumpster doesn’t really matter; these things shouldn’t go off with some garbage collection company unshredded either, for a start.

And given the level of controversy abortion clinics attract I’m surprised they’re apparently so lax in handling such information.
