i was reading some of the remarks from 2010 post concerning patient modesty in conjunction with surgical procedure. one poster stated that, in her hospital, they tape their trauma surgeries, and instruct all involved staff to keep quiet about this. this is so extremely difficult to believe. with the emergency and most usually life and death issues dealt with here makes it even harder to believe. adding insult to this privacy invasion was the effort made to cover this up and to keep it secret. so please comment on this and offer sound medical reasons for this policy, if it indeed does happen.
