hi everyone,
I don't want to sound paranoid or crazy ...I want to volunteer in a hospital and someone asked me if i know if hospitals have cameras inside the hospital buildings.

I know there are cameras at gas stations and a lot of public places but are there cameras in hospitals? Especially in California?

I believe there are cameras in the hospitals...but I do not know where...can someone chime in on this topic? thanks.

I can't tell if trolling.

 

[gutonc]

Man...every single thing you post gets crazier and crazier. I don't even know what to do with this.

Yes, hospitals have cameras.

Where? Well, that's kind of the point. They don't want you to know. Generally not in patient rooms, unless they say they are, or they're super obvious.

But seriously, what are you up to, or who are you hiding from, that the concept of a security camera in a hospital has you so freaked out?

 

[TraumaLlamaMD]

There are lots of cameras. They watch you all the time.

 

[hands_superior]

oh i was just curious. I don't know how the medical field works or the politics in medicine. thanks for letting me know.

Also, do hospitals keep their camera recordings if there is a camera?

hi

thank you for your honest response. Where are the cameras? i heard they are in the hallways...

 

[hands_superior]

i am sure hospitals keep their camera recordings for legal purposes and law enforcement too

 

[TraumaLlamaMD]

Hallways. Elevators. Parking lots. Honestly just act like you're on camera the entire time you're there and you'll be fine.

Or if that's going to be a problem for you, it's a good thing to know now so you can reconsider your career options.

I did not know there are cameras everywhere...

what about patient's procedure rooms? like the radiology room where radiologists do procedures on patients?

How about patient's room in the medical surgical rooms?

Did you even read my reply?

Have you even been in a hospital?

Are you a high school student?

There are cameras in the operating rooms.

There are cameras in the ICU.

I've never seen a camera in a patient's room on the regular floors but even if there were, why does it matter? Don't do anything worthy of filming and no one will care.

What the...?
Dude you sound like a creep who is contemplating doing something really shady/illegal/dangerous in a hospital.

hi

thank you for your honest response. Where are the cameras? i heard they are in the hallways...

I worked on a stroke unit where cameras were in all patient rooms. We informed patients and family they were on camera.

Your post is concerning. Hope you haven't done anything bad.

Why the emphasis on radiology?

Quit beating around the bush and be clear about what you mean to learn and why.

Hopefully you can see why the questions come across as awkard and are sort of off putting, but we can get over that eventually. Unless of course you wind up with the banhammer as several seem to have succumbed to lately.

 

[Hakuna Matata]

I'm genuinely concerned about this thread and the questioning coming from OP. I hope they ban OP and soon.

I hear ya, but we gotta admit stranger/creepier things have probably been discussed and asked on SDN. This OP is still super awkward, but again pretty sure that's a prereq to be a doctor anyway.

 

[hands_superior]

oh i see. I am not trolling and i am real person. I don't know how medicine works and much about the medical field. That's why i asked. I mean I am sure a lot of doctors don't know there are cameras in the hospitals...


also, another question. is there cameras in the Operation rooms?

 

[LucidSplash]

Maybe you could tell us WHY you want to know?

 

[hands_superior]

I was just curious. A thread from SDN forum asked about if there is a camera too. why can i ask...i am not paranoid or going to do anything bad...i want to learn
here is proof

Do emergency rooms have cameras? Should they?

 

[CaliforniaAppli]

This is the weirdost post I have seen here, almost criminal/sociopathic sounding .

Well, there was the recent user who asked questions about what to look for in scalpels and posted a pic of their home scalpel collection...

hi everyone,

Soooo ... yeah ... that didn't exactly work out.

Not sure all the histrionics in this thread is necessary.

I think you're mistaking snark for actually concern.

 

[Iso4ane]

Or they do come find us take/abduct us to talk to us, but they take smart ones with them, and leave the crazies behind.

 

[DrfluffyMD]

Looking at his post history, he is curious about income of physicians and whether there are cameras...

Let me tell you something about the hospital. It is generally very difficult to commit violence in there.

 

[candbgirl]

I'm not sure OP is a troll. I think he is really young, knows nothing about medicine and hasn't bothered to read anything about medicine. For sure OP needs an intensive writing course so what he writes is better understood. I've also wondered if maybe he was a HS intern working in a law office and someone asked him to do very basic research for some medically related case and he picked SDN as his go to site for information.

There there was also the one about do hospitals share your info if they're part of a chain?" I sure wish some of our Psych residents or attendings would comment.

 

[PTPoeny]

Isn't this the same poster who also made a thread about the spouses of doctors?

How do they still have an active account? They've been blowing up SDN with concerning nonsense for the past week.

OP it sounds like you need a lawyer more than you need a doctor to comment on all the things you're asking about.

I surmise that's why OP is on probationary status.

I answered that above in post #13

I probably shouldn't let the OP know about the hospitals that employ hand washing spies.

Seeing as the OP deleted his post, it's time to close this (perhaps next time we could be a little bit nicer to someone who is probably a high school student or very awkward young person).
