Tom, You go to significant pains to ensure you don't identify your patients, so you have no need to worry. But then again you weren't really worrying you were making a point about freedom to act without censorship. Sometimes though censorship has value. Patients in hospitals are by definition vulnerable. They should not be the subject of covert filming, particularly not by those who are in a position of trust. Do the media have a role in exposing the failings of the healthcare system? Absolutely. Should a nurse (or anyone else in healthcare) exploit their position and their patients to covertly make a point ? Absolutely not. Failing to deal with this issue would have left a very dangerous precedent and on behalf of patients everywhere I'm glad this action was taken. DSO

Welcome to Random Acts Of Reality, a Blog based in London, England, written by an E.M.T working for the London Ambulance Service. Also, number one search result for "Womble porn". All names have be changed to protect the guilty. This Blog was previously known as "Why I Hate Humanity" but the antipsychotic medication seems to have kicked in.
