Medical Record Theft Results in Jail Time: A records manager of a San Jose, California medical group stole some computer equipment, as well as a DVD with patient information on it. He sold the computer equipment, but kept the DVD. That was somewhat of a pattern, since every time he got fired from a job, there was a burglary and computer equipment was stolen. He's going to jail for 21 months.

I think 21 months is not enough jail time. He should be doing more time for stealing patient records.
