   i was concerned that hospitals and physicians were attempting to somehow videotape a patient's procedure without adequately informing the patient of the possibility this may occur. i felt that it would take only minutes for a surgeon to tell the pati...

   thank you for including a copy of the consent form used at thr hospital where your surgeries were done. it is certainly short, concise, and very easily understood. my feeling is now that adding the taping possibility to the consent form is sufficient...

   i have no experience with the medical ethics which govern teaching hospitals, but from previous posters it seems that practically all procedures are taped to some degree. this is fine with me. as i have said many times before it is not the videotapin...

   i guess what i am really asking is why the patients are not informed of the videotaping possibility by the surgeon when he/she obtains informed consent for the patient's original procedure? do you not feel privacy issues are important enough for pati...

   J.R.theR.N2b replied to J.R.theR.N2b's topic in Relations

   i have no fear of these procedure videos ending up on you tube. i do strongly feel, however, that such videotaping and photography are very serious privacy issues for the patient, and as such, patients should be informed face to face by the surgeon a...

   since my last comments, i have done more research on the internet dealing with patient consent issues on videotaping of patient procedures. i feel that relegating this as an aside on the consent form signed at admittance is insufficient. what if the ...

   J.R.theR.N2b replied to sweet~revenge's topic in Relations

   the following comments are for esme12 and anyone else kind enough to comment on my earlier post. last monday afternoon i had an appointment with my long time primary care physician and asked him if he might prescribe a tranquilizer for me to combat a...

10. 24/7 Video Cameras in ICU rooms

    J.R.theR.N2b replied to umcRN's topic in Critical

    my question deals with how each patient is informed that there will be a camera watching them. in almost all instances this is inserted as an aside in the consent form which, when signed by the patient, legalizes the process. i feel that each patient...

    J.R.theR.N2b replied to Emilyinsc's topic in Safety

    i am also from the old school and believing in assuming resposibilities for my actions. it is easy to determine from my post there are specific things i cannot tolerate, with any type of restraint heading the list, and i expect any and all medical st...

12. Patient fx hip after family refused alarm

    J.R.theR.N2b replied to Emilyinsc's topic in Safety

    how restraining is a bed alarm? i consider myself to be the pickiest, anxious, most restless patient a poor nurse could ever have to endure. i am very severely claustrophobic and, as a result, am unable to tolerate restraint of any type. i cannot eve...

    J.R.theR.N2b replied to sweet~revenge's topic in Relations

    i was not aware that this was a vent thread for nurses and i humbly apologize for disrespcting nurses. my only real contact with nurses as a patient occured in 1995 when i underwent cardiac bypass surgery. every nurse i had during this hospitalizatio...

    J.R.theR.N2b replied to sweet~revenge's topic in Relations

    sorry this so late but just had to comment. before you put your freshly polished halo to bed for the night i think you should consider another side of this issue. i suffer from very severe claustrophobia and cannot tolerate restraint of any kind, not...

    again thank you for answering. i, too, would expect all patients to read the entire consent form and voice any objections at that time. i feel assured that if did object then no videotape would be made, and if a certain abnormality did occur during a...
