Boss told workers in a group text I was in the hospital but I didn’t tell him to say it. Is that legal?

As stated above, I was going in for a procedure to remove an ailing injury. I told my boss, of course, so I was covered for those days. To my surprise, he sent a group message out randomly telling all the employees I was in the hospital and going to be out a few days. I didn’t ask for that nor did I want everyone knowing what was going on. Now I have 10 different people messaging me what is going on and I’m sure even more when I get back face to face. This just doesn’t seem right. Wanted some advice before I went to HR. The manager is already on the hot seat for multiple HR issues but I don’t want this one to be pinpointed on me.
