41. She didn't disclose any confidential medical information

Dec 2012

All that she did was pass the phone call to Kate's own nurse. This may have been naive, but it was hardly criminal. If anyone on the hospital side breached confidentiality, it was Kate's nurse, who is a different person; and it does not seem that even she disclosed anything that was not already public knowledge.
