So wrong there. Go ask Leeds Trust about what happened when information about certain celebrity patients was leaked? Posting stuff ike that is madness on a public forum - it is almost certainly in breach of his contract of employment, breaches patient confidentiality and could get him sacked and his hospital trust into very deep water.
And I know a bit on this because my wife works for one of the biggest hospital Trusts, and in her position knows much about who is receiving oncology and other treatment and for what, and is fully aware of her responsibilities regarding confidentiality and trust.
