Hi Silly Girl,

I share your belief, that they need your signature to share your medical information even with another doctor.

I would call the office, ask to speak to the Office Manager, and tell her that it is your understanding that you haven't signed anything permitting them to share medical information with your psychiatrist.

This information may be helpful in your treatment with the psychiatrist, because they have to become medical doctors first. Just assume it was for this reason it was shared, but if you haven't given them permission, then it was against HIPPA guidelines.

That's great your M.D. ran these kinds of tests.
