John DOE, Appellant, v. Irwin POTASH, M.D., and Port of Miami Medical Clinic, Inc., Appellees.
    No. 95-3487.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    March 27, 1996.
    Peter Ticktin, Boca Raton, for appellant.
    Guy Spiegelman, Miami, for appellees.
    Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and GODERICH and GREEN, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

In 1987, there was no prohibition against a physician discussing a patient’s medical records with a third party. See § 455.241, Florida Statutes (1987). Although the legislature subsequently amended section 455.241 in 1988 to include such a prohibition, we cannot give retroactive application to this amendment.

Accordingly, we affirm.
