Description

1 James D. Grimminger appeals the trial court order granting summary judgment in favor of Shuba Maitra, M.D. ("Dr. Maitra") and Blair Surgical Associates, PC ("Blair Surgical"). Grimminger claims Dr. Maitra violated the physician-patient privilege by offering information and opinions to Grimmingers employer, the U.S. Postal Service. Grimminger contends that the trial court erred in concluding that (1) Dr. Maitra did not release any confidential communications or other diagnosis information to the postal authority, (2) Grimminger gave Dr. Maitra implied consent to discuss his medical problems with his employer, and (3) a trend has developed in Pennsylvania jurisprudence which permits a physician to communicate with a patients employer concerning the patients ability to work without first gaining authorization from the patient. After a review of these claims, we find the trial court did not err in its result and therefore affirm the order.
