 the course of such services. Ark. Code Ann. § 16-114-201(3).

This court has discussed the parameters of "medical injury" in several of our cases. In Bailey v. Rose Care Center, for example, an eighty-nine-year-old nursing-home resident was killed when he left the nursing home unnoticed in his wheelchair and was subsequently struck by a pickup truck. 307 Ark. 14, 15–16, 817 S.W.2d 412 (1991). The circuit court gave Arkansas Model Jury Instruction 1501 to the jury, regarding "medical injuries." Id. at 18, 817 S.W.2d at 414. We held that this was error, because there was no "medical injury." Accordingly, instructing the jury on AMI Civ. 1501 was prejudicial and likely misleading, because the instruction included the wrong standard of care. Id. at 19, 817 S.W.2d at 415.

In the same vein, in McQuay v. Guntharp, we held that a physician's act of fondling a female patient during a medical exam did not constitute a "medical injury" because the act was outside the doctor's treatment and provision of services. 336 Ark. 534, 541, 986 S.W.2d 850, 853 (1999). Revealing confidential information also does not constitute a "medical injury." ''Wyatt v. St. Paul Fire & Marine Ins. Co.'', 315 Ark. 547, 868 S.W.2d 505 (1994) (holding that a breach of patient-doctor confidentiality is an action in negligence, not malpractice). This court has also held that there was no "medical injury" where a patient alleged that a clinic negligently allowed a romantic affair to continue between its receptionist and her husband. Howard v. Ozark Guidance Ctr., 326 Ark. 224, 225, 930 S.W.2d 341 (1996) (holding that the statute of limitations applicable to negligence actions applied, not the limitations provision for medical-malpractice actions).
