I'm not sure how to look this up, but I wonder if a doctor is also required to report a patient who has one of the other medical conditions listed earlier? If not, then that's probably the only case that could be made, as it would indicate discrimination.
The case could be made that the doctor-patient confidentiality was breached. This doctor could have just talked about and treated this "issue" with his patient and given her treatment. Whether or not she drives is irrelevant.
