Ouch! The hospital where Nadya Suleman gave birth to the now legendary octuplets got slapped with a $250,000 fine for violating Octo-mom's privacy.
The hospital apparently fired all 15 employees who illegally accessed Suleman's electronic medical files already, and didn't expect the state to take any further action.
Allegedly, these people were so hungry for juicy details and gossip about Octo that they put their jobs at risk. They should have just started reading Famecrawler and they'd still be employed. Sad.
Apparently, nobody succeeded at finding the true identity of the sperm donor. That guy's got to be thanking his lucky stars for that!
I'm not exactly sure why California health officials care so much about Octo-mom's privacy, since she doesn't seem to care about it. In fact, publicity is pretty much the one and only opportunity Suleman has to generate any significant income.
