No. The facts you presented indicate that the personal taking and disclosing the information would, at minimum, be liable for one or more privacy torts, and, depending on the nature of the medical history/condition, the employer may be liable for illegal employment discrimination.

Kindly note and remember that my response is merely a general comment on the law related to your question, and NOT legal advice or opinion. Also, your question and my response does NOT create an attorney-client relationship between us. You cannot rely upon what I have written, because I do not have all of the information that I need to advise you or render an opinion. Even simple facts you have not shared can completely change my answer. For me to give you legal advice or opinion, you would need to hire me to be your lawyer, and then we would need to discuss this in detail and go over the documents.
I agree with Barry - more so if they were not just lying around and the person fraudulentlly violated the law to get private records.
