George Clooney Reacts To Doctors Suspension
October 10th, 2007
Forty employees at the Palisades Medical Centre in New Jersey – where George Clooney and his rumored girlfriend, Sarah Larson, were treated following their recent motorcycle accident – have been suspended on suspicion of leaking information about the celebrity’s treatment.
Clooney and Larson were riding his motorcycle in Weehawken, New Jeresey, on September 21, when the actor attempted to pass a car as it was preparing to turn right, resulting in the couple hitting the car and being thrown from the bike.
According to CBS2 News in New York, 40 medical workers, including doctors, have been suspended for allegedly leaking information about the Oscar-winner to the media, which was in violation of their patient’s privacy rights.
The staff have been suspended without pay. Clooney released a statement on Tuesday (October 9) saying:
"This is the first I’ve heard of it. And while I very much believe in a patients right to privacy, I would hope that this could be settled without suspending medical workers."

As much as it is big on you to hope the workers aren’t punished too harshly, remember and realize this is also how patients’ AIDs status gets leaked to employers, and so on. Your case shows how common it is to sneak peaks and tell and how little patients are respected, so don’t protest too much – they deserve it. They deserve worse. These aren’t nice people. They did something you wouldn’t do you know, so remember that. Nice to be big, but not everyone has the luxury and others are hurt badly by the invasions and the leaks, not like in your case
