ESPN reporter tweets player's medical charts, and ethical questions erupt - Jul. 8, 2015

New York Giants player Jason Pierre-Paul apparently had a finger amputated on Wednesday. The reason we know that -- the publication of a private medical record -- is now the subject of a robust debate.



On Wednesday evening Adam Schefter, a reporter and analyst for ESPN, posted images from Pierre-Paul's medical charts on Twitter. He said the images were "obtained" by ESPN. The medical records detailed what was happening to the finger -- which was hurt in a fireworks incident on July 4 -- and even included the exact time of the procedure.
