Just came across a FB reel of a guy named Diego who works as an MRI tech, I believe at Open MRI 17, possibly in Paramus. I'll be calling shortly to confirm... posted a video showing not only patient records but also her patient ID and name. Date was 7/29... while it may just be all fake I wanted to post this in case real. If you know Sydney and this is real, here is the evidence I grabbed including the reel url. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/17xWedF58A/
Not a HIPAA violation, as this is a screengrab from this article.
There is a tweet in the article sharing this information further.

Thank you. Im not a big Redditor. Is it standard to edit the post with new information or delete the post? My goal was to help not cause an uproar. The dude is a complete shitbag based on his posts but I don't want to be inaccurate.
The mods have taken care of it.
I would just delete the whole thing bud
I get your intentions are good in posting this, but as you say, you don't know if any of the PII is real. If you want to help, maybe you could have started by informing the poster that patient information was visible in their post and asking them to remove it.
Making a post like this on Reddit just amplifies the reach of the post. It's free marketing.
Right? Why post it on Reddit? Just quietly do your due diligence and report then, if that’s what you want to do
Because you don't get any karma or attention that way.
Because everything we do in life apparently has to be on the internet now because our moral compass is driven why what strangers say.
Because everyone knows Reddit can find the truth fastest as well as help.
Boston Bomber.
Yay we did it!
Your Somerville flair hits a little harder with this comment than I feel it probably usually does 😂
They're just shilling for AI, this whole post is dumb
Wait what lol... from everything I said that is what you got out of it? Wow.
Shhhh the adults are talking
You did the right thing. These weirdos woke up and wanted to argue on the internet.
He’s an MRI tech he should know that sharing PII is not to be shared. That’s like working in health 101
the patient herself wrote an article about it and posted it online here
I work in cybersecurity but OSINT is not my forte. I've learned Reddit folks are the absolute best at getting the truth. I figured this would be the best way to get visibility as well as results. If it is satire or a marketing stunt then ill def edit the post once more facts evolve. Hopefully its fake but in case it isnt I am doing my best to help.
I’m sure a ton of good has been done by Reddit folks. But I would still be skeptical of the abilities of redditors. Look at what happened with that poor guy accused as the real Boston marathon bomber.
I didnt see it. I use Twitter mostly 😅 though I have seen a ton of hate so far towards me.
Take a nap
Ok bot
Awwwww thank you!! I'm the AI YOU ARE SO directly defending!! I thought we were friends?? Suddenly I'm bad bot??? BUT YOU WANT YOUR DIAGNOSIS RIGHT?? AM I GOOD OR BAD??? .... HELLO?? ARE YOU STILL HERE??
Not real, scrolled just a short ways down the comments and someone else mentioned HIPAA. Someone responded to them with the tweet where the patient posted her own image and told the story of how her mom found out she had nipple rings.
Apparently I can't post links to X, but I can provide in chat if desired.
If real, terrible look for OP lmao
Whats not real exactly? He photoshopped the patient records to make a creepy tiktok? Sorry, just confused
No, the picture was posted online by a patient. Not his patient, it's an image someone posted of their own X-ray to the internet that he found on the Internet and used for his reel, so it's not a HIPAA violation.
Also to add: I'm not supporting this reel generally or his use of these images.
He stole someone’s public content, much different than releasing patient data
You cannot steal public content.
That means every repost is theft. You're grasping, it's not a big deal if the patient already posted it and he's not monetizing it.
Wait, so a real MRI tech stole content from someone else to make creepy perv content of his own as if its his own?
"Stole" is the correct term if they didn't ask the original poster on X for permission. But it's stolen from the Internet, not in connection with their job. This isn't them dipping into workplace data, it's them scrolling the internet on their own and finding the image from someplace else.
But you could have found this out yourself had you done just a tiny bit of scrolling on the reel's comments. I'd recommend doing that in the future instead of posting to Reddit. The whole "Redditors find the truth fast" is actually you not respecting other people's time. I'm happy to go looking for the truth if there's reason to believe that it might be a real crime or violation, but you need to do some due diligence first to be able to say there's reason to believe it. The comment I found on your link was like the 7th one down, so you didn't do any due diligence.
The hell is perverted about this?

Same, this is so messed up.
Did you call? How'd that go? To me, this post seems like you are making something out of nothing and I'm still not sure why you posted this. I am curious though if you called, or who exactly you called, and what you said.
I'm guessing you downvoted me OP, great, but did you call?
Yikes that is a HIPAA violation and an ethical violation (and actually sexual harassment too, because that is just disturbing to post that). Please share screenshots and send to the state board that oversees his license.
Did you bring your Jump to Conclusions mat?
Read some of the other comments, sheesh.
This must be rage bait… SEXUAL HARASSMENT????
Took me a while to figure out. I’m guessing they are saying sexual harassment because you can see the nipple piercing? Kinda a stretch imo
My only child died at 9 years old thanks to shit medical staff. It is infuriating seeing all these "professionals" at work posting patient data. I work in AI security & cannot wait until AI takes over these imaging positions. We deserve better. This isnt Starbucks, this is actually life or death.
I am counting the minutes until I can call in and report it. I have to be sure of his name and place of employment.
I can't even begin to tell you how irresponsible using AI in the medical field is. AI isn't what we deserve at all
Irresponsible if attached to patient data or even the backend system at all yes... however for imaging its been life saving. AI is able to see what humans cannot. So instead of this jackass viewing it, itd be an AI first evaluating the image and then sending the image and report to doc for confirmation. Super incredible process.
An MRI tech takes the images though, how would they be replaced by AI?
Why does AI need to review it before the doctor? Couldn’t they review it together?
There is absolutely no reason that medical images should be screened by a machine before reaching a doctor.
That sounds like some bullshit concession to the insurance industry.
Mindless devs just building out this type of shit because they can’t see past their own monitors into the real world.
We're only a matter of time before AI is simply better than most radiologists and pathologists. Think about it; AI raises a red flag (barely visible enlarged lymph node), human checks it with a focus on the lymph node, and then it's flagged for more AI/human analysis. I really think that people are forgetting that thousands of people have died because an overworked or incompetent radiologist spent 3 minutes looking at something and decided you had NED when the tumor was actually already barely visible on imaging.
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2665774
(For the whole-slide image classification task, the best algorithm (AUC, 0.994 [95% CI, 0.983-0.999]) performed significantly better than the pathologists WTC in a diagnostic simulation (mean AUC, 0.810 [range, 0.738-0.884]; P < .001). ,
Incredible is the perfect word for it actually. Because it's not credible
I go for a CT Scan every 3 months and AI taking over an imaging center is going to be a nightmare. No thanks! Also the radiographer looking at my scans do just fine. Stop talking about taking away jobs from these people. There’s some shit people who work everyone and there’s some great people too.
YOU ARE SO DUMB RIGHT NOW
AI is not the answer you moron, I'm sorry about your loss but you realize how bad ai diagnosis is?? This is horrible take, fucking dumb.
Once again sorry for your loss but don't act like AI would have saved your kid. You know what AI is trained on? These doctors.
Yes this guy is shit but no. Bad form.
How can AI take over a technologist?
What
I wish I could upvote this more
Its just for evaluation of the image. So image is taken, reviewed by AI and then image and report sent to Doc. This eliminates some young and dumb tech on Adderall from jacking up
It's actually the complete opposite. Its use is more effective when used by experienced/tenured radiologists. Its only benefit is (potentially) faster usage than typical radiology tech. So doctors get to spend even LESS time with their patients, lucky us
This is gonna fizzle out the same way NFTs did, but not before ruining a bunch of lives
Shut up
You are a moron, AI isn’t taking any imaging tech jobs away lol
OP posted this because they said redditor are great at getting the truth, fast. OP needs artificial intelligence because they lack the real thing.
My take as someone with a profession other than the Healthcare industry is that it makes so accessible for any knucklehead, and I mean dumb as sack of potatoes to be anything related to the Healthcare industry. Tech, nurse, operator, you name it, they are there, the least indicating individual who is just stupid and irresponsible becomes a nurse or practitioner and you hand him a life to watch over.
At one point when your education becomes "lets pick the best answer" instead of the absolute right or wrong, you start to wonder why the caliber of folks working in the Healthcare field seems to be incompetent, dumb and short staffed?
Yeah. I wonder why is no longer considered a profession....
It writes itself.
Fellow architect. Yeah. Also not considered a profession, but at least I took 7 exams, pay my own school instead of getting reimbursed by the state or hospital, we got a name for anyone going into the Healthcare industry at Architecture/Engineering School = sellout.
And that's your Healthcare practitioners. Sellouts. Sad. This is not uncommon....

Exactly. I know docs are people but I don't want to know that when I see you. I hope that made sense

While intentions I guess are nice for your post his caption on the video you link to literally says it’s a publicly available image? You’re willing to do the due diligence to call and try and get a guy fired and sued but not take 10 seconds to read the post?
Can you ask Sydney if she still has the piercings?
What's even happened man?!? Like why can't we go back to the days of just posting things about other people and their personal shit while trying to be a professional without offending someone or breaking any laws?
How does anyone hire this Moron?
From what I just learned the image is from someone else's content but he is still trash. Professionals in the medical field should never post work content.
That's not true. There's a whole radiology subreddit that people in the field post interesting cases.
