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...

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. t...

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 wanted to comment on the last remarks from weepingangel about me thinking the MD is showing my colonoscopy video to all his friends...... your attempt at humor was in very poor taste and was not appreaciated. i have never made any comments attempti...

my one and only hospitalization was in february of 1995. i was admitted for a cardiac catheterization and was told i would stay overnight and be discharged the next day. after arriving at the appointed time of six am i was prepped and awaiting the pr...

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...

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 ...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

sweet_wild_rose------thank you for your answer. i feel that by intending to videotape a patient's procedure without directly informing him is somehow an invasion of his privacy. it seems the physician is attempting to circumvent the consent process h...

the original thread was started by creinkent on 12-19-06, entitled "patient modesty concerns pertaining to surgery". followup comments referring specifically to videotaping of procedures were by sharkdiver and sweet_wild_rose dated 6/8/2010. for netg...

does the patient or his family have the right to object to any recording or taping by adding a note on the consent form that he nor the family definitely does not consent? i do not object to the taping so much as i do having it done without my knowle...

i have just read an interesting account on the internet concerning the use of versed, either alone for conscious sedation, or in conjunction with other anasthesias for surgical procedures. the article mentioned that versed was an amnesiac which when ...

while surfing the web, i came upon a full discussion of the dax cowart case. he was severely burned in a gasoline explosion, suffering major burn injuries over most of his body, even his eyes. he asked a bystander who found him for a gun, begged EMS ...

i did not mean to infer that the drug versed was used as sedation prior to urinary catheterization. in fact, i have been told by emergency room nurses that patients in the ER are not sedated for catheter insertion due to the risks involved. my extrem...

your response was, as were all the responses, very thought provoking. the whole point of my original post was to question how the amnesic properties of this drug were used. i continually asked myself, if i were completely anesthesized and "out of it"...

i just finished reading on the internet details on a court case, marsingill v. o'malley. some things were mentioned in the discourse that i would like some clarification on. a lady (marsingil) called her physician (o'malley) at home with complaints o...

it seems quite a bit of the family's argument is based upon the effects of the doctor telling the patient that she most likely would have a nasogastric tube inserted. it was still the patient's choice however. the doc told her on the phone that if sh...
