Blind Items Revealed #2-Mr. X

March 6, 2015

What ailing country music icon who might not make it through 2015 was approached at the nursing home he’s currently staying at by a newly employed CNA who told him her mom is his biggest fan and could she take a selfie with him to send to her? Well, some of his family members were soon notified and the CNA was quickly fired from her job. She’s trying to assemble a legal team to sue the family, unaware that they’re strapped for cash.

    Why would she sue the family, anyway? It's not cool to bug nearly departed celebrities. Classless. They should be suing *her* for using a dying man for her own entertainment.

    Idiot. Just like the clown who did a selfie with Joan Rivers before he sent her to her deathbed

    Why would his family get the nurse fired? All she wanted was a selfie with him, to which he could've just said no and that's it. Why did someone need to lose her job over it? Silly people.

    The Joan Rivers situation was different, she was in surgery, unconscious. This nurse approached the guy for a photo for her mom who is a big fan, I don't see the problem. It's not like she was taking advantage of him. If he didn't want her to take a photo he had the option to say no.

    First time poster from Nashville. Glenn Campbell was a very generous and good man and is in his final stages of life with Alzheimers. It is completely low class for anyone to exploit a person in such a state for their own ego gratification. Fuck her

    He didn't have the option. He is in late stage Alzheimers

    They're paying for him to be cared for and he's deteriorating. It's an invasion of his privacy if he's compromised, mentally. And shitty if he looks bad.
    She was a nursing assistant, not a nurse.

    This is awful. What a completely classless & unprofessional thing for that idiot chick to do. I'm positive this is a violation of the terms of her employment AND the Americans With Disabilities Act. She DESERVED to be fired & she should be blacklisted from getting employment in the health field again. If he does sue, I hope Glen's family countersues her for breach of the ADA & HIPAA. In fact, let her dare sue her patient's family, SHE will be the one who comes out the loser in every respect.

    Well if he's unconscious or so bad that he's unable to talk, then ok, that's not cool. But the blind makes it sound like she's talking to him & interacting with him, in which case I think it's ok for a fan to ask for a photo to show her mom.

    I wouldn't call Glen Campbell a country music icon. He was very popular and mainstream back in the 60's and 70's.

    Because he was popular and mainstream back then, when country wasn't that big yet, and had his own TV show and did movies is what makes him an icon.

    My mother is a nurse, here's a different way to explain it:

    HIPPA does not just protect your medical records, it protects you and your identity as a medical patient. By acknowledging he is Glen Campbell The Musician and not simply Glen Campbell A Patient, she is breaking his legally protected right to anonymity. No patient should ever be approached as anything other than a patient, unless said patient makes the acknowledgment themselves to that specific medical employee.

    There is no gray area, his right to privacy as a medical patient was violated and she was appropriately fired. Now she's looking for a handout just because she screwed up? No.

    He lives in a nursing home which is considered his private residence. If he was out in public, asking for a photo is fine. That nurse is a low life douchebag.

  15. Glen suffers from Alzheimer's. He probably didn't know what she was doing.
    She should be fired -- violating his privacy like that.

    Hey, just call Chris Brown a good man when he's dying, is all I ask, okay?

    OMG! Glen is a ICON!

    Gentle on my Mind...Galveston...Rhinestone Cowboy...By the Time I Get to Phoenix...etc. There was a period of about a decade where you couldn't turn on the radio and not hear one of his hits, or turn on the TV and see him on some variety show.

    Disgusting, oblivious, self-centered and obviously completely inappropriate and intrusive behavior by this nurse's aide trying to photograph a patient for personal reasons. Then she compounds it by suing his family who were completely appropriate in their efforts to protect their father's privacy. Some days I just cannot stand humanity.

    While she was unconscious on the operating table? Kiss that medical license goodbye.

    Good man? You may want to tell that to the women he beat the crap out of over the years.

    Because it's unprofessional for a CNA. And he probably couldn't speak for himself.

    What would June Gordon do ? What would he or she have to say regarding this situation ?

  23. Fuck selfies and fuck you.

  24. She would have known perfectly well how deteriorated his mental state was before she asked "permission." Even if he nodded vacantly, what she did was just as bad as taking a selfie with his unconscious body. For all intents and purposes, he WAS unconscious!

    She knew what she was doing was wrong, but she did it anyway. So let her suck it up and take her punishment.

    Exactly this. DH is a nursing home admin and this violates patient privacy, plain and simple. The family has to sign a release when a patient is not mentally competent to make decisions themselves for ANY photos to be taken of the residents. It has nothing to do with the fact that he's a celeb, honestly. She can't sue for shit- the home has proper cause to fire and families can complain as much as they want if they feel their loved one is being mistreated or violated in any way.
