In theory yes your privacy rights were violated by negligence.
There is a duty or obligation to keep personal medical records
out of the public domain. This nurse published (3rd party
heard) to another. But all law is contained not whats on the
books but what in the head of judge. Get the right judge how
thinks this is horrible then you have judgement against the
nurse. But a judge could think there was little "damage" done
and it was in the atmoshpere of nursing care. The
circumstances were not one that would necessarily show gross
negligence or even recklessness. Do you have any disease that
is now published that others now know about. Then this might
be viewed as damage and strengthens your case.
