Personal information of almost 2,000 Hurley Medical Center patients
may be in the wrong hands this afternoon because the hospital says it
is missing a laptop.

While the computer does not contain sensitive information like social
security numbers and insurance information, it does have on it other
private medical history for 1,938 patients.... "On the laptop is
information from 2007 to the present. It had their name, their height,
their weight, their birthday, their medical record number, and test
results," Wardell [President and CEO] said.
