Justin Bieber Swollen Balls Triggers Hospital Lawsuit 
 
 Justin Bieber's Swollen Balls Triggers Hospital Lawsuit 
 
 EXCLUSIVE 
 
 Justin Bieber went to the ER back in May fearing a soccer injury had caused one of his testicles to twist, and that triggered a nasty legal claim between the hospital and a fired employee. 
 
 Justin made an emergency run to Northwell Health in Long Island New York, and a staffer named Kelly Lombardo found out about it. The hospital claims Lombardo illegally accessed Justin's medical file in one of the computers ... this after hearing rumors Justin had been admitted for an STD. 
 
 According to the lawsuit, the hospital fired Lombardo for being "an immoral employee" who violated Bieber's privacy rights. 
 
 Lombardo has just filed a wrongful termination lawsuit, claiming she never accessed Justin's file and simply heard from others he was there for treatment of an STD. 
 
 Sources connected to Justin tell TMZ, he did NOT go to the hospital for an STD. They say he had been playing soccer and suffered a painful injury. Justin "WebMD'd himself" into a tizzy and believed he had testicular torsion, a serious condition caused when a spermatic cord becomes twisted cutting off the flow of blood to the attached testicle. It almost always requires surgery. 
 
 We're told the doctor examined Justin and quickly realized all that was wrong was a swollen testicle. A relieved Justin then left the ER and went about his life. 
 
 As for Lombardo, she's filed a claim with the New York Division of Human Rights, claiming she was singled out and fired because she's a woman. 
 
 New York employment attorney David H. Rosenberg tells TMZ that "my client never accessed Mr. Bieber's medical file and yet she was fired for doing so."

 The pop star is at the center of a former New York hospital employee’s wrongful-termination claim, her attorney David H. Rosenberg confirms to PEOPLE. 
 
 According to Rosenberg, Kelly Lombardo was terminated from her role as an emergency room department representative at Northwell Health on Long Island in June of this year after being accused of accessing Bieber’s private medical chart while he was being treated at the hospital a month prior. 
 
 Rosenberg says that Lombardo – who had worked for the hospital for 10 years – was on duty when hospital reps allegedly claimed to her that Bieber had been admitted to treat an STD. 
 
 Lombardo claims she did not believe the comments to be truthful, and did not interact with or see Bieber during his alleged visit. It wasn’t until a month later that she was allegedly called into a meeting, accused of looking at the star’s medical files and ultimately fired. Rosenberg tells PEOPLE that during the meeting it was suggested that Lombardo would have wanted to look at the records because she is “a young female.” 
 
 According to TMZ, Bieber did not have an STD and his visit was actually prompted by a soccer injury, which Bieber believed to be testicular torsion. After visiting the Long Island hospital, Bieber was allegedly diagnosed with just a swollen testicle.

 “My client never accessed Mr. Bieber’s file,” says Rosenberg. “She was falsely accused of doing so on account of her gender. We look forward to vigorously prosecuting these claims with the New York Division of Human Rights.” 
 
 Optum360 and Northwell Health are named as respondents in the suit.
– Justin Bieber's emergency room visit to treat a twisted testicle is the subject of a lawsuit, though it's not (exactly) over the pop star's privates. People reports hospital ER staffer Kelly Lombardo is suing Northwell Health on Long Island for wrongful termination after she was sacked in June for allegedly consulting Bieber's medical files. Lombardo's lawyer, David Rosenberg, says she was accused of looking for proof after hospital reps told her Bieber was treated for an STD (which Lombardo didn't believe). A month later, hospital honchos summoned Lombardo, accused her of peeking at private records, and eventually fired her. Lombardo didn't treat the Despacito singer and go looking for Bieber's chart because she's a "young female," a speculative reason allegedly floated during the meeting, Rosenberg says, adding that Lombardo never accessed the records. "She was falsely accused of doing so on account of her gender," he says, promising to "vigorously" pursue the matter with New York state's Division of Human Rights. Bieber went to the hospital after a soccer injury and was diagnosed with a swollen testicle, TMZ reports, quoting sources who say Bieber "WebMD'd himself" into a frenzy thinking he had a more serious condition called testicular torsion. (After a man's right testicle hurt, doctors removed the left one.)
