She isn’t dumb at all, just privileged. |

That’s worse. Hopefully someone with standing will sue her. |

| She should use the list she took to email each person to say sorry and to assure and confirm that their name and phi was removed from the Alloy database and not provided to any other third parties. Or the founders of the startup should do that. |

I am not interested in hearing from Alloy again. I am interested in hearing that dr Malone will be disciplined. Other than that the excuses fall short. Taking a list and using it over a year later for an online sales company isn’t letting former patients know where to find you for ongoing care. It isn’t giving an update. It is using a list of patients for profit.
She’s been given the opportunity to say sorry but has doubled down on her excuses and blaming others. |

Ditto. Only thing that can fix her arrogance ( see her tweets) is a lawsuit. |

| She asked the office manager for a list of contact info for her patients and the manager mistakenly gave her a list with all the patients. This was a mistake in the managers part. You all are ridiculous! |

She knows she’s above the law, so she’ll never be disciplined in any way. She can do anything she wants. You know... privilege. |

| She was my doctor at Foxhall, and I received the letter from Foxhall but never received an email from Alloy (and I am menopausal and was under active treatment by her for menopausal issues). I agree this was a Hipaa violation (and the PP’s explanation above is a great one to show we should all care about any hipaa violation), but I assume my info never made its way to Alloy or I would have gotten the emails others here have referenced. So while this was a mistake (I am not going to assume intent), for me this one thing doesn’t erase the over 20 years of excellent, individualized care I received from her. I suggest that rather than rake someone through the mud publically, people affected who feel wronged should start by contacting Foxhall, because their internal procedures also are at fault here. |

Except that the list of only her patients wasn’t hers to take either. Duh. 🤔 |

1) She is not being raked through the mud. People are stating publicly what happened and our disappointment in how this doctor behaved.
2) at least some of us were NOT her patients 3) it appears from the content of the letter that she did obtain the list while she was an owner. Therefore she was responsible then for creating and following appropriate procedures. That responsibility was both hers as a doctor and as an owner at the time the violation occurred. 4) we know that HIPAA did not give her any continuing rights to the data once she was no longer an owner. That violation was hers. 5) blaming the practice manager who was HER employee at the time the list was provided is first rate passing the buck. |

Oh for gods sakes she grew up in a black family in the Deep South and helped integrate the schools as a kid. The average patient at foxhall is a million times more privileged than she is. |

It’s not her childhood that makes her privileged. |

Doesn't matter if she is privileged or not - She did the wrong thing knowing it. She thinks she can get away with it due to being privileged now. She should have been sued. She is a dr and knows taking the patient list is wrong but didn't care. No excuses for her behavior. People are constantly using privilege (or lack of it) as an excuse for their moral values and basic decency. Call a spade a spade. |

no, that was Malone’s sister. I know Eric and wife from Covington & Burling. They are worth millions |
