    Did she give any of the medical information ? Next you suspect, you will have to prove she provided protected information As for the threats, you need to report them to the police

    Actually, I don't think that this is a HIPAA violation. It's no different than if your boyfriend's ex-sister-in-law saw you at a restaurant and called up the ex-wife to tell her where you were. The fact that it just happened to be at a hospital doesn't make your being there privileged information, especially since you weren't the patient.
