You've proposed a real breakthrough concept. It has been mind expanding in terms of the healthcare system as it's been structured. For example, Drs routinely forbid recording in delivery rooms after one such inadvertently recorded this wife giving birth and then going into anaphylaxis +died immediately bc someone used a latex glove that was exaggeratedly noted she was allergic to. Was a big court case. So notices of "No recording" were thereafter posted the throughout the medical layout. I moved from there to N Carolina. This is a state where audio recording is lawful as long as just one party is aware of it. So in reality, I could audio record any conversation, including my office visits, if I wanted to. Im not a lawyer I don't know what the situation would be if "no recording" was posted +it was private property. Priv property likely prevails But if I believed it was necessary for my protection I'd take the risk.
I don't feel any bad vibes from my new Providers or other existing ones so I'm not inclined to record today.
I would want A/V of any surgery or procedure under anesthesia. But I doubt the Surgeons would accept that or appreciate even the suggestion. Doctor exercise very dominant power in their areas of self interest in the political arena. For example, when they oppose changes in legislation for expansion of score of care for other licensed professionals. So I'm thinking that unless legislation is supported by the industry, it'll be a very long time until it's implemented anywhere in it. Individual patients need to think more about self protection. I encourage you to begin writing+ submitting your idea all over all media formats. There are medical Think Tanks. You might want to get in contact with some. You have much to contribute.
Praying your health is returning soon.
VERY good idea!!!!
I embrace your idea of tech for accountability on a voluntary basis. I would agree to secured audio under all circumstances. It wouldn't inhibit me at all. And I would want audio/video for any surgery or procedure under anesthesia. I can't even believe I feel this way now considering this is in such stark contrast to the views I've held most of life. I'm an old gal + behaviors of all of those you listed have changed radically over the decades to a point where documentation -i.e recording- is a safeguard now more than an intrusion of privacy, imo. I think your idea should be explored for application.
When I was working in ICU, patients were under video observation+ therefore we were too when we were administering care. I was never uncomfortable. It wasn't kept in my consciousness ever.
I wish I had the recording of being degraded, scolded+ shamed in anger by my former PCP for bringing in a wrong insurance form. I went there for exhaustion, brain fog, + inability to function, post COVID. So you wouldv thought he might have realized it was a simple mistake like all the rest I was making. The audio of that would have gone viral on the Internet. It was so harsh I began to lose my hair right after.
