After treating a patient injured in a rather unusual sporting accident, the hospital released to the local media, copies of the patient’s skull x-ray as well as a description of the complainant’s medical condition. The local newspaper then features on its front page the individual’s x-ray and an article that included the date of the accident, the location of the accident, the patient’s gender, a description of patient’s medical condition, and numerous quotes from the hospital about such unusual sporting accidents. The hospital asserted that the disclosures were made to avert a serious threat to health or safety. Was this a permissible disclosure? Why or why not.
