Patient Loses Privacy Claim Against Doctor

Posted on March 16, 2010 by Dissent

Jeff Gorman reports:

A doctor did not violate a patient’s privacy by telling her case workers that she needed to stop taking prescription drugs, the Tennessee Court of Appeals ruled.

Teresa Gard suffered a back injury on the job and sought treatment from Dr. Dennis Harris.

However, Harris stopped seeing Gard after watching a surveillance video of her activities, which was supplied to him by an insurance company. The video showed Gard riding in a boat, bending over in her front yard and entering a car without pain.
