B2C, that stinks! I think you need to tell her how angry you are. If I were in your place, I'd probably call the old T, and chew him out too.
I don't know the details of HPPA, but I think they aren't legally allowed to share info about you without your permission. Maybe it's different if they're part of the same practice, or something, but I don't think so. I suppose that may mean that you could sue them. Or at least report them to their licensing agency.
I thought the only exceptions to the confidentiality rule was if they thought you were a danger to yourself or others. In that case they're obligated to share info to protect whoever might be in danger. But I'm assuming that doesn't apply here?
I'm so sorry you have to go through this. I don't blame you for being angry. I would be livid.
