Lozano alleges in her lawsuit filed in April 2013 that a temporary worker in the office of Dr. John Edwards, an OB-GYN affiliated with UCLA, obtained copies of her health records and sent them in September 2012 to the father of the plaintiff’s then-unborn child, as well as to yet another of his former girlfriends.
