I have an extremely abussive director. He mangages by
screaming, berating and belittling. As I am recovering
from a very abusive marraige, it became intolerable
working under him. I get so anxious and nervous that I
cannot perform my duties. I work in a very difficult area
of a hospital. Any mistake I make could cause injury.

I am very intimidated by this man and did not feel I could
speak to him directly so I went to human resourse. The HR
manager agreed that this behaviour was unacceptable and
unproffessional. She wanted me to document all of the
abuses that I have been experiencing. Several days
earlier, I had a very serious anxiet attact at work the
inflamed an ongoing and serious stomach condition. I left
work and was admitted to the hospital. The next morning I
had to have a minor surgical procedure.

Upon returning to work, I recieved two counceling reports
for violations of reporting my absence. He also had to
more counceling reports written up for me to sign over
things that were discussed weeks ago. At that time, there
was no mention of official councelings. It was obvious
that all 4 counceling reports were written at the same
time but the 2 from a couple of weeks prior were dated at
that time. I signed the reports because it was stated that
signing only meant that you recieved the report and not
that you agreed. I then added the current date that I
signed.

During this counceling session, he told me that he went
into my hospital records and knew exactly when I was
discharged and also told me the name of the procedure that
was performed on me. It was obvious that he violated
Hippae laws and my privacy. In the history and physical is
very very sensitive information about myself. I am just
too embarrassed now that he has all this info about me.

Do I have any cause of action here. Were my cival rights
violated? Thanks for any info
