 Attorney Mike Allen said employees at UC Medical Center took the photo and posted it on Facebook. 
 
 "She was absolutely devastated. That is the most private of private medical information that was posted on Facebook and went out to a group on Facebook that had a huge dissemination," Allen said. "For an employee of the University of Cincinnati Medical Center to post that information on a social media device that millions of people have access to, it's above and beyond the law and that's why we feel that they're responsible." 
 
 The Facebook group is called "Team No Hoes." 
 
 Allen said the screenshot was followed by comments referring to his client as a "hoe" and a "slut." 
 
 "To have that kind of information in the public domain when it is clearly legally to be protected, that's a problem and that's a problem that UC's responsible for," Allen said. 
 
 In the lawsuit filed in Hamilton County Tuesday, the woman is suing UC Medical Center, an employee named Ryan Rawls, another unnamed UC employee who's believed to be a nurse, and the woman's ex-boyfriend, Raphael Bradley. 
 
 Allen said Bradley convinced the UC employees to release the medical records, violating state and federal laws. 
 
 WLWT News 5 went to both Rawls’ and Bradley’s houses for comment. Bradley returned our call. He wouldn't comment but confirmed the woman is Rawls' girlfriend. 
 
 Rawls called WLWT Thursday to say she, "did not leak the records. The plaintiff is aware that I am not the person who leaked the records. The plaintiff also knows that I am not the one who posted the records." 
 
 "We have not received a copy of the lawsuit but we will certainly investigate it and we cannot comment on pending litigation," UC Medical Center spokeswoman Diana Lara said. 
 
 Allen said the consequences to his client have been devastating. 
 
 "She doesn't want to go out. She doesn't want to talk to people. People who were formerly her friends have made fun of her for it. She's chastised in the community and all of this could've been avoided if UC Med Center had proper protections in place," Allen said. 
 
 In the lawsuit, Allen is asking UC Medical Center to look at its procedures to make sure something like this doesn't happen again. 
 
 His client is also seeking more than $25,000 in damages. 
 
 Allen is requesting that a jury hear his client’s case. ||||| . (Photo: Provided) Story Highlights Lawsuit: UC Medical Center employee posted patient's records to Facebook

 Woman seeking more than $25,000 in damages for invasion of privacy, emotional and malice 
 
 A Winton Hills woman who was being treated for a sexually transmitted disease at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center is suing the hospital, accusing an employee of posting her medical records to Facebook. 
 
 According to the lawsuit, filed in Hamilton Common Pleas Court this week, a screen shot of the woman's medical record showing her name and her diagnosis of syphilis was posted to the Facebook group "Team No Hoes" in September 2013. 
 
 An email that included the same screen shot was also sent to members of the closed group. 
 
 Shawntelle Turley is also suing Ryan Rawls, named as an employee of UC Medical Center, an unnamed employee at UC Medical and Raphael Bradley, her ex-boyfriend. 
 
 The lawsuit claims that Rawls, along with the unknown nurse at UC, posted records online at the request of Bradley. The lawsuit also claims the health system and UC Medical Center negligently supervised Rawls and has not done enough to identify the other unknown employee allegedly involved. 
 
 Officials at UC Health, which operates the hospital, said they could not comment on the pending litigation. 
 
 On Wednesday afternoon, UC Medical Center CEO Lee Ann Liska sent a memo to the hospital's employees noting the lawsuit and its claims. The memo also reads: 
 
 "(W)e take the privacy and safety of our patients very seriously. While the allegations are isolated to the people named in the lawsuit and by no means reflect the conduct of UCMC associates, who are dedicated to serving thousands of patients annually and safeguarding their PHI (or personal health information), I would like to remind everyone that the unauthorized access or viewing of medical records, or the unauthorized sharing of PHI, is a serious violation of federal medical privacy laws and regulations and cause for immediate termination." 
 
 "As this case is being handled through the legal system, we ask that you refrain from discussing it. Should any patients ask questions about the story or raise concerns about their PHI, please assure them that we strictly enforce our policies to safeguard their privacy." 
 
 According to the suit, "as a result of the inaction (of the hospital) ... the plaintiff's medical records are still in the possession of the other (unknown) employee and the plaintiff is receiving phone calls harassing her and her child," according the lawsuit. 
 
 Turley, whose lawyer is former Hamilton County prosecutor Mike Allen, is suing for more than $25,000 in damages for invasion of privacy, emotional distress, malice and negligence. 
 
 Allen did not return a call seeking comment.

– A Cincinnati woman is suing the University of Cincinnati Medical Center after an employee allegedly posted her medical records—including her name, personal information, and diagnosis for syphilis—to a Facebook group called "Team No Hoes," WLWT reports. The lawsuit alleges that the woman's ex-boyfriend, Raphael Bradley, convinced two hospital employees to post the records. "That's a problem, and that's a problem that UC's responsible for," the woman's lawyer says. The suit names Bradley, the hospital, an employee named Ryan Rawls, and another unnamed employee believed to be a nurse—the plaintiff says the hospital hasn't done enough to identify that second employee. The hospital sent a memo to its staff yesterday urging them not to talk about the case, and reminding them that unauthorized sharing of medical records would be "cause for immediate termination," the Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Team No Hoes is a closed Facebook group with 65 members as of this writing. Its cover image is a pair of shorts bearing the phrase, "Trust No Hoe!"
