And from what I've read all they would get if they could is get names, account numbers and transaction details.

If someone wants to get hold of that information about you there's a much easier way: simply steal your monthly statement from your mailbox.
Oh come on PDLM, don't spoil the doom and gloom party. The hospital records are probably just sat all lonely, misplaced or misfiled, as well rather than in the hands of the triads. Given the billions of records out there it seems to me that a few will go missing all the time. Its called human error.
