Houston Snoopin': The Harris County Hospital District, which runs Ben Taub Hospital, the Level 1 trauma center and huge public hospital. has fired 16 employees for snoopin'. A medical school resident who was assigned to Ben Taub was shot in a grocery store parking lot and rushed to Ben Taub. Lots of folks who probably knew the young doc but weren't involved in her care checked out her chart, and got fired for it.

Pretty severe sanction, but probably intended to send a message -- don't snoop, dawg.

Well, I didn't intend this to be my 1500th post, but this is it. 7.75 years writing this blog . . . .
