A source from UCLA Medical Center has told the LA Times that 13 employees of the UCLA medical Center, where Britney was most recently treated, have been fired, while six others are suspended. Outside of that, six doctors are also facing repercussions for unnecessarily looking into Britney's digital file.
The medical center is able to keep track of who looks at what information and for how long, thanks to advances in digital technology. Despite receiving a memo the morning Spears arrived, some employees decided against better judgment to find out what was going on with the hospitalized pop star.
This isn't the first time actions have been taken against someone for snooping in Brit's hospital files. Several were caught during the birth of her first son Preston in 2005, and people were fired then also.
The hospital's Director of Human Resources, Jeri Simpson, said, "I feel like we do everything that we possibly can to ensure the privacy of our patients and I know we feel horrible that it happened again."
Spears' latest information was not accessed, as psychiatric care and treatment files are kept under tighter security. So far there is no evidence that information was sold to media outlets.

Logan says:
That's one of her problems. She should NOT be shopping at Forever 21. She should try Sears or Fleet Farm.

Glad to see that the employees were fired for snooping where they had no business. They should be banned from ever working where confidentiality could be an issue.
