Like if this was republicans trying to prove a democrat had died, they’d be convincing kids to speed run the hospital like is a scientology building.
Given that hospitals take care of sick and dying people, and their staff are overworked enough, I don’t think that that’s a suggestion that we should be going along with.
Kind of the point isn’t it. How’s the Supreme Court working out for you? It’s only another decade or two of this shit before maybe you can get a more balanced one, even then. But you keep that moral code you made up close to your heart.
Don’t blame hospital staff for not committing a HIPAA violation that could ruin their career and leave them liable for legal action. Sure, maybe you would like for them to disclose this kind of thing, but when you compromise patient privacy like that it leaves the door open for major problems.
Think of it in the context of underage drinking, as an example: if you bring someone to a hospital who has alcohol poisoning but is under 21, they won’t inform the police, despite having proof of legal wrongdoing, because doing so would only cause additional harm by discouraging people from seeking medical help when they need it in the future. It’s better for everyone if medical staff can just stay impartial and do their jobs.

I fail to see how doing harm to people in the hospital would do any good for anyone.
Harm who? You’re just getting a picture with a totally alive guy. Nobody is harmed
It’s not that harmful to walk by a hospital room to see if someone is alive.
For that matter, by not letting anyone know if he’s alive or not, those hospital employees are already harming the people of kentucky.

So we can only violate patient privacy when it helps the fascists?
Because all of that goes right out the door when a pregnant woman has a complication.
