Hungarian Ambulance Staff Posted Patients’ Pictures Online
"The National Ambulance Service has launched an inquiry after learning that some staff members took photographs of helpless patients and uploaded the pictures onto the internet.

Spokesman Pál Győrfi said data on patients, including photographs of them, cannot be released to third persons.

The tabloid Blikk reported that the pictures show ambulance staff posing with patients who have lost consciousness, along with inflammatory comments on pictures of patients lying unconscious on the ground."
