Several employees have been fired from Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas, where Lamar Odom was initially admitted after being found unconscious in Dennis Hof’s brothel, for sneaking photos of him lying in his hospital bed.
Odom has since been transferred to Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, but his wife Khloe Kardashian thanked the staffers in a statement when he left.
The employees took photos of Odom as he fought for his life and one employee even tried to access his private medical records, which breaks HIPAA rules.
A rep for Sunrise told TMZ, "We take all patient privacy very seriously and follow all HIPAA policies in compliance with federal regulations."
It’s unclear if any of the employees successfully took photos and tried to sell them to media outlets, but no outlets have published any as of yet.
As we previously reported, Odom is making progress at Cedars Sinai and underwent two emergency surgeries recently to help his pneumonia.
