Wednesday, January 12, 2011 In The News: Your Medical Conditions In The News Do you think your medical information is safe from release by your employer? Think again...even if you work for a school district. "The New York City school district did not violate the privacy rights of a teacher when it publicly disclosed her medical condition, a federal appeals court has ruled. A panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit, in New York City, ruled 2-1 on Tuesday that the disclosure of the teacher's fibromyalgia, a disorder that causes muscle pain and fatigue, in an investigative report made public on the Web did not violate her rights. The case involves Dorrit Matson, who was a music teacher at a Manhattan public school in 2004 when she was scrutinized by the New York City school system's special commissioner for investigation for abuse of sick leave."Posted at 4:31 PM Keywords: In The News , Medical Privacy , Personnel 0 Comments |
