Cedar-Sinai Hospital Violates HIPAA Privacy Laws after giving updates on Lil Wayne's Health Conditions

By now, we’ve already realized that there were some serious HIPAA privacy laws being violated at Cedars-Sinai Hospital yesterday, as a member on staff fed health updates on Lil Wayne to the website TMZ, in exchange for a big paycheck. Hours after Lil Wayne was admitted, the entertainment website posted that he was in an induced coma after suffering from violent seizures and that his family and friends were gathering at the hospital to say their last goodbyes. After being blasted in a series of tweets from Mack Maine, Toya Wright and T.I, TMZ removed the part of the story that stated that Lil Wayne was being given his last rites, however, they have pretty much stuck by the rest of their story.
As of Saturday morning, although there are reports that he is still in ICU and stabilizing, Lil Wayne’s condition is still very much unknown. Last night, celebs like Drake, Chris Paul and his wife Jada were spotted looking somber as they arrived to the hospital a little before visiting hours ended at midnight. Inside sources also confirmed that the hospital staff is under investigation.
Meanwhile, over in Austin, Texas, Usher performed a surprise show with The Afghan Whigs at SXSW, and stopped his set to send love to Lil Wayne.
