If it was required for you to read his medical record to register him for his appointment then you should first discuss that with your supervisor. However based on the fact they suspended you for reading the record it sounds to me like you are not supposed to read the record when setting up appointments.
I really can't see why you would have a need to read the record to setup an appointment.
You may want to see a lawyer if your supervisor is not helpful and you believe you followed policy and HIPPA.

That is why you don't dip your pen in the company ink.
If you don't understand your ethical obligations regarding privacy or the wisdom of dating patients, then you should wake up every morning counting your blessings that you were not fired outright.
Best advice? Ask for (re-?)training regarding those obligations, and then follow the suggestions of your managers.

Use proper spelling and grammar when you defend yourself on paper.
