Medical Transcriber Threatened UCSF Patient Privacy for Back Pay

From the San Francisco Chronicle: Breaking her silence for the first time, the Pakistani woman who threatened to release UCSF patient files on the Internet says she had “no choice” but to breach the hospital’s security after being cut off by the Texas man who’d made her the final link in a long chain of clerical subcontractors.

Lubna Baloch said by e-mail from Karachi that she is “not an opportunistic person who willfully did that to gain some attention.”

She said she is instead the “worst sufferer of this situation” because she was only trying to secure UCSF Medical Center’s help last month in obtaining money that she was owed.
