If you go to an ER and your treatment requires follow up by your primary care doctor, then yes. Your records will be turned over.
When you sign consent for treatment in an ER you automatically give consent to transfer the records.

Hello again, suit:
So, what's the big deal?? Your regular doctor NOW knows you're a loadie. So what? As long as he doesn't talk to the cops or share the information with your family, he SHOULD know what you put into your body.
If he DID snitch on you, that's another matter. But, if he's just being an jerk about it, get another doctor.
