Yes...so not just "like a patient at a dr practice" then I guess, but being treated by the hospital as written. Not that SCA is anything to do with the conjoined twins, I don't think (I have no idea if there's any particular risk factor for conjoining)
But also....isn't that nearing a HIPAA violation to reveal who is a patient, when it's not part of the story in question? (I suppose the parents may have given consent for that to be shared)

It would only be a HIPAA violation if the hospital or insurance company made the disclosure.
