She was not a "need to know" person, so someone not only violated HIPPA, but defamed my character with misinformation and cost me my livelihood, and maybe my family. please contact me personally, because there are so many things that happened wrong here, and the longer I wait for someone to help, the more hopeless I am.

Two things: First, I am not an expert in this area. Secondly, I feel badly for what you are going through. That being said, I cannot imagine being able to prove you were "spoken to differently" than other people. Also, being embarrassed in public is a very subjective thing, too. What might embarrass you may not even phase someone else. I think everyone reading this has been in situations like yours and felt the same pain and outrage. While I wish you the best in this situation, I also wish you closure---the ability to not let this consume you, and move on with your life. This shouldn't be something that should affect you the rest of your life. It happens to everyone----I know this doesn't minimize your hurt over it all, but at some point you need to look up, look ahead--and stop sacrificing the permanent on the altar of the immediate.... Lift your gaze a bit.... learn from this, and move on. I suspect something better is well within your grasp. Reach out.
