TIL it wasn’t a HIPAA violation to do this in the first place. My understanding was that as long as it’s not self harm that literally anything else wasn’t something that could be given away without your consent.
There are several situations in which HIPAA allows doctors to disclose your protected health information without your consent. One of the exceptions involves law enforcement. Democrats are trying to close that loophole, at least for enforcement of out of state abortion laws.
Self harm falls into the "mandated reporting" category, one of the few things that is not only unprotected but actually must be reported.
