Feed her. She probably has the munchies.

Why doctors? Filming patients would be a nightmare in terms of privacy and data policy.

In my line of work (psychotherapy) it would be equally impossible. People are having a hard enough time as it is opening up to medical professionals, I don’t think that the additional barrier of being actively filmed would help anyone.

perishthethought OP ,

Check out the linked article. I agree with you but that agency is only adding cameras for the agency’s benefit, not the worker’s.

Mrs_deWinter ,

Youth corrections staff is still a whole other story than doctors though. A physical examination is probably one of the most vulnerable positions one could be in. These cameras would record people getting naked, multiple orifices being examined, and patients talking about symptoms or things they are unsure and often ashamed about.

The cost would be enormous. I imagine many people would be even more reluctant to go to the doctor than they are now.

And the benefit, in my opinion, would be very slim. Medical malpractice is far more subtle than the examples from the article. As patients we’re rarely worried that our doctor will physically assault us, we’re worried about errors in judgement, delays in care, and prejudices based on gender, ethnicity, age, sexuality, and so on. And those aren’t directly observable most of the time. Even if you get the moment on camera where your doctor decides to trivialize your symptoms you mostly wouldn’t be able to prove it happened for discriminatory reasons.

Yeah I’m not a doctor but I work in healthcare. Would be a massive HIPAA violation (patient privacy laws).

Shit, I should've become a gymnast...

You’re in luck, that joke is cheesy

So that’s the main island with the Grand Lisboa on it. Just to the south is a second island, Cotai, which has what they call “the strip” and it’s built with a bunch of casinos as it is trying to become the Vegas of the east.

TL note: toshi keikaku means urban planning

I wasn’t expecting a Death Note reference, thanks for the laughs!

I’m a 5’ 5” dude and never think about it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

One inch taller and same.

But you just had to point out that extra inch though, didn’t you…

It sounds like you’re starting to think about it…

FlyingSquid , to insanepeoplefacebook in I wondered what happened to the sovcit P. Barnes tazed all those years ago
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

My former best friend (and best man at my wedding) ended up trying to scam me for drug money a few months after my daughter was born and we were basically broke because of it. He ended up scamming my mom instead. Obviously, I broke it off and never spoke to him again, but something made me realize a few months ago that I could look up his record out of curiosity.

Not only was it a mile long, he is currently in prison for running a meth lab.

This was a guy who, when we met in middle school, wanted to compose classical music and even ended up going to music school for it before dropping out and beginning his long descent into drug abuse. I was doing the same drugs he was in college (or at least I was in the beginning), but he graduated to a pill addiction and then eventually, I guess, meth.

But at least he wasn’t a SovCit.

And that is why humans invented swimming pools.

ArbitraryValue , to pics in South Korea sent a fully-kitted out player for the Olympic shooting. Turkey sent an 51 yr old guy with no specialized lenses, eye cover or ear protection and got the silver medal

I wonder if he would have done better with the equipment. I suppose he couldn’t just put it on if he didn’t train with it, but what if he had trained with it?

yes

Scipitie ,

In case you don’t actively check back in the thread: there’s a white in depth answer now what gear the is and why the person answering “yes” is very likely wrong.

Worth a read!
