WEST Shore Private Hospital on Monday deferred all questions about an investigation into a Facebook post allegedly made by a technician after the Prime Minister was warded there, to the technician s employer.
While the investigation is ongoing, it is uncertain what penalty the technician could face if he is deemed to have breached patient confidentiality. This could range from censure or reprimand to possible suspension.
In a statement on Sunday, the hospital said it was made aware of the post made allegedly by a cardiac technologist identified as an employee of Cardiovascular Associates Ltd (CVA) and a part-time independent contractor for ACI (Advanced Cardiovascular Institute).
