Will they hire me? Will Human Resources pull up information about my cancer surgery?

This is a different kind of question. Was wondering if I apply for a job at a hospital that is tied in with a hospital where I had cancer surgery - will Human Resources pull up that surgery information and therefor not hire me? .

No. That would violate HIPPA laws. That information is CONFIDENTIAL and ONLY YOU can give written consent who has access to your medical records. I would NOT even mention your medical history, it has no place on an employment application and should not even be considered by a potential employer, it is none of their business. If the person in HR looks it up, that is a HUGE NO NO and a violation of federal privacy laws.
