Kid Simulates "Racing" While Under Anesthesia

And to those that don't get HIPAA, look it up (ama.org). They are anal about their rules and regs. You can't even have patient sign-in sheets visible to other patients, that's a violation. Willful, or repeated violations of HIPAA can get you a $250,000 fine and 1 year in prison. And you have no recourse, in the case of the fines at least - they are administered by the HIPAA board/AMA themselves, not the courts.

Having worked in HIPAA environments myself and with quite a bit of knowledge of both dentistry and surgical procedures, there is nothing wrong with someone bringing a camera in. Many surgeries are recorded, in fact that is becoming much, much more popular. They can certainly be released with no HIPAA violations at the patient's request, and the patient can certainly have the right to release his own video should they choose to. The whole sterilization point is a non-issue as there can be any number of ways to have a sterile filming environment as I mentioned before it is a very popular and common practice now in surgical rooms.
