Take the higher ground and let it go. What are your damages? Are you someone who complains about how litigious our society is? Then let it go.

Even if you pursue this, you would have to prove that you suffered some type of damage as a result of the release. The only thing you will do is have a qualified nurse, which there are a shortage of in this country, fired. Next time you see the nurse, POLITELY tell her that in the future you would prefer that she didn't give your personal/health information out over the phone. I'm sure it won't happen again.

Best of luck.******The above is for informational purposes only and does not create an attorney-client privilege.*******
