OP also accused the mods of working for Northern Light Health.

There seems some truth--I watched the TikTok video and it does show a letter verifying that OP's "friend" had some people access PHI in less-than-legitimate circumstances. That being said I have some experience in this area and almost always its the patient oversharing their own information to people they shouldn't trust.

I also don't know what sort of "justice" OP wants here. It seems like all offending parties no longer work for Northern Light.

To sue for emotional distress allegedly caused by HIPPA violations? That's the best I got... But I'm not sure how liable they would be.

You actually can't sue for HIPAA breaches. HIPAA states that you have to file a complaint with the HHS Office of Civil Rights and they access if a HIPAA breach occurred and they will fine the health care entity if they determine it happened.

The person with the TikTok said she has been to several lawyers and they have all turned her down.

I'm sure that's true. I just meant suing in civil court in general for emotional damages stemming from HIPAA violations which enabled a stalker. It's not suing for the breaches, it's suing for the damage caused by the breach. But also it seems like an uphill legal fight when the hospital seems to have dismissed all the violators. (And that's assuming the stalker has a police record, restraining orders, etc)

Are those the two that aren't outwardly connected to your "friend's" ex?
