A - The doctor liable if he didn't have proper firewall or other protections.

B - The doctor is not liable.

D - The risk manager, but not the doctor is liable.

I would say A, but it may ultimately be up to a jury. Do doctors have risk managers? If they did, the Doctor should do the suing of that "manager" if and after losing the case.
