Josh of social media influencer duo “Josh & Jase” shared on Feb. 11 that he was notified by a Michigan hospital that his medical records were accessed without authorization following a recent visit.
Josh, who is from England and recently received medical care while in Michigan, said he received a formal letter from the hospital informing him of a data breach involving his medical records.
The notice reportedly said multiple hospital employees accessed his private medical information without authorization or a legitimate medical reason, he said.
Josh said in the social media video that the breach followed interactions he experienced while receiving treatment.
“Let me be clear and I’ll speak with facts - This was unique to me. Staff members were entering the room I was in whilst receiving treatment and asking for selfies (there are witnesses to this) whilst I was under medication and in pain and I’ve kept quiet about this but to learn employees have accessed my personal private information for their own knowledge, is not okay,” he said in the video. “They also explained to me they had taken my name off of the notice board to keep things lowkey. The word got around. I am all for meeting fans and being polite and will never turn down meeting someone, however lines and boundaries have been crossed and it comes to a time where I need to take a stance.”
No further details were released.
