How would you react to a HIPAA violation of your medical information?

Say you were in the hospital for something you do NOT want to share with anyone other than your very closest family and not even some of them, but you found out that members of your spouse’s extended family have detailed information.

You have reason to believe, based on the path the gossip took, that this was leaked by a person working at the hospital who knows these family members. Would you report the violation?

What if the hospital employee in question is a relative of your spouse? Would that make a difference?
