Shark Attack Victim Photos Put Hospital Employees in Hot Water

Martin Memorial is also investigating reports that people not employed by the hospital were directly involved in the picture taking. "We are following up with the organizations they represent," the statement read.

Citing internal personnel policies, the hospital wouldn't identify the number of people involved in the picture-taking, the names of the employees who were disciplined, their job titles, the organizations they represent, nor what specific actions were taken.

Martin Memorial has started a re-education and re-training program on patient privacy laws and cell phone usage for physicians, staff, and outside personnel working in the hospital.
