We're the Only Ones Malpracticing Enough

Terry Neal, a Tampa activist and former City Council candidate, sued the city of Tampa, two police officers and the Police Department, alleging his reputation was ruined when police falsely wrote he had HIV, hepatitis C and a violent mental illness in a police report four years ago. [More]
So if I report that both the named "Only Ones" have oozing genital lesions, and can't "pinpoint where [I] got the information...even when such information is unverified," will my "warning [be] justified to protect [citizens] from even a possibility of a potentially fatal exposure" if these rights rapists ever get them in their clutches?

Hey, at least the chart accuracy gives us a glimpse into what we can expect from government-run health care...

A four-year fight, and the character damage in the interim could be pretty horrific. If the only ones get entry access to .gov healthcare records, Jane Lunchbucket is toast when she tries to get a new job, enroll her kids in a school, board an airplane, you name it - and I'd think it goes without saying just how impossible it is to ever truly "erase" a "erroneous and/or unverified" patient file entry.

You get the justice you can afford, make no mistake.

Letterhead from healthcare agencies would be almost priceless as a vehicle to transmit unsigned and undated test results showing 23 positives on special STD scans. . .

Cheers!

The legal system isn't going to fix this crap. We are now past Wolfe territory.
