As many as 40 doctors and other employees at the Palisades Medical Center in North Bergen, N.J., got suspensions for allegedly leaking confidential medical information about the couple in violation of federal law, according to broadcast and Internet reports.
Told about the fallout firings, Clooney went to bat for the workers: he told “Extra.”
PMC spokesman Eurice Rojas couldn’t be reached for comment, but the hospital said in a statement it takes any violation of a law seriously and that it was investigating.
Clooney broke a rib and got scraped up in the Sept. 21 crash in Weehawken, while his passenger, Sarah Larson, broke her foot when their motorcycle collided with a car on a narrow street.
Those suspended were accused of passing Clooney’s medical records on to the press.
Seven members of the Health Professionals and Allied Employees Union were suspended without pay for four weeks, said spokeswoman Jeanne Oterson.
