A few days ago I was tested for drugs by my employer. I received a negative test result. However, I do take a prescription for an injury from years back and the doctor doing the test informed my employer not only that the drug was in my urine, but exactly what the drug was. Before he did this, he called me and asked me if I had a prescription, who the pharmacy was and I gave him the needed information to clear it all up - which is how I received a negative result. He still took it upon himself to tell my boss.
Was it illegal for him to tell my employer about my prescription?[/U] If so, what steps should I now take because I've had other employees approach me and ask me about the "heavy meds" that they've heard I'm taking. HMMM... I wonder how they found that out?! I don't feel comfortable around my peers at work because now they treat me like I'm some kind of criminal addict.
Have my privacy rights been violated and what should I do now?
