What to do if my probation officer contacted my doctor with no release form presented and they both shared information?
My doctor discharged me because I was on probation. Now I cannot find a new doctor because when they retain my past records to continue my care, the old doctor says discharged due to being on probation. Then the new doctor will not treat me. I have multiplemedical issues that can not be cared for because no doctor will treat me properly.

Under the laws of all states in this country once there is an order of probation issued by the court with respect to a person convicted of a crime, all that the probation officer needs to do in order to get information about the person who is on probation is to simply provide a certified copy of such to the person from whom information is requested in order to receive it.
Unfortunately for you there really is nothing you can do legally from what you have written.
