This is almost becoming a weekly event with at least one find every week. Why don’t we have public shredders? This one looked maybe like a doctor who closed up his business as the new media went and knocked on his door to find nobody at home. BD
Public Shredders Please! Medical Record Dumping On the Rise
Somebody is missing the boat here, with all the emphasis on properly disposing of medical records, why do we not have public shredders? You could 
insert coins for the number of minutes you think you need and go to town. We do that for water and air for our cars, so why not. At least it would give people an outlet instead of records left out to expose personal identities. Not too long ago a doctor burned down his house trying to burn the records in his chimney which got too hot and led to the house catching on fire.
It's happened again. Hundreds of medical records, with personal patient information, dumped in a recycling bin in Chattanooga. A viewer called News channel 9 on Wednesday saying the medical records were laying in plain sight. So, we went to the scene in St. Elmo and found piles upon piles of patients records. Then, we called police and now they're investigating.
