Article: Diagnosis: Identity Theft

BusinessWeek reports: "When Lind Weaver opened her mailbox one day in early 2004, she was surprised to find a bill from a local hospital for the amputation of her right foot. Surprised because the 57-year-old owner of a horse farm in Palm Coast, Fla., had never had worse than an ingrown toenail. After weeks of wrangling with the hospital's billing reps, Weaver finally stormed into the facility and kicked her heels up on the desk of the chief administrator. 'Obviously, I have both of my feet,' she told him."

Criminal have come up with a new way to steal your identity and this one can effect your health if your medical records get messed up.
