Defendants file motions to dismiss in case about Marshall med school sharing personal info

Posted on July 1, 2019 by Dissent

Kyla Asbury reports:

Three motions to dismiss were filed in a case against Marshall University‘s medical school for divulging personal information that caused a student humiliation.

[,,,]

J.M.A. claims his personal information was entrusted to the defendants and was made accessible to unwanted third parties.

In 2012, J.M.A. had x-rays done, however, later his unredacted and de-identified radiological images were shared with members of his class at Marshall’s medical school, which caused him severe shame and embarrassment, according to the suit.

So yes, that sounds like a real breach, although no details are given in the report as to precisely what kind of sensitive information was shared with the student’s classmates.
