I need help with a disturbing matter, ill start with that 18 months ago I had surgey for prostate cancer and now I am being followed up with blood work every 6 months to test for psa elevation.
Here's my story, Two weeks ago I'm out on my snow removal run when I get a call to go clean a drive way,I do the job and enter the house to get paid.The lady meets me at the door and askes how I'm feeling,I reply fine.She then go's on to say " Well on march 19th your psa levels were 0.6 and that isent good".I stand there in disbeleife at how she no's my test results along with the exact date I went for tests.
She then says that she is looking out for me and says"you dident no my son inlaw was a doctor eh,and my daughter works at a clinique".. then she says the doctor asked if I still smoked and she replys yes.She says a few other things but I just ignore her as I'm in shock at what the hell has just happened.
I come home,tell my wife what just happened and she explodes.. Now I do a little investagating on my own and go to our local hospital and ask the lady who works there how is it possible for some one to access my records,she says they can't unless they are a doctor and are in your circul of care witch he isent.I now talk to the blood teck and she says the same thing,and then with the prfacy agent for the hospital, she confirms this.
My question is what are my legal rights here?. forgot to add I applied for a job with the municapality and was told I wouldent get the job even though I am more that quilafied because of this person telling every one that I am sick with cancer again.I live in a small town and we all no how things get out of hand with rumours, 1st I was OK,then takeing kimo,now I have 6 months to live,lol.. gotta love a small town.I live in norther ontario, what can I do about this other that getting him fired?
