Legal Question in Consumer Law in Georgia

Medical Tests

I had some medical tests done. On the forms they ask for an

emergency contact, I listed my mother as my emergency contact. The

nurse then called my mother and read her my test results. When the

nurse called, she just confirmed that it was '' Ms. Doe'' instead of

confirming the whole name. Of course, she is my mother, we have the

same last name. These are test results that I would not have wanted

my mother to know, I am 28 years old. Do I have any legal recourse?
