Now that smart phones have become a natural extension of most Americans, phones that can take a picture or video on the go and send it out instantly to social networks such as Facebook and Twitter or email them to hundreds of contacts in just a few seconds, I found the hospital that Mrs Happy delivered in asking for a little courtesy in return. Or is it?
I took lots of pictures and videos at the delivery. It never once occurred to me to ask anyone for permission to snap pictures and video in our room if an employee happened to be in a spot I was trying to photograph.
What do you think? Is it etiquette to ask or is getting photographed just part of the job in hospitals these days. Patients have HIPAA. What do employees have? Or should they need anything at all? I wouldn't mind getting photographed or videod. It wouldn't even occur to me to care about it.
