MISC. A Virginia man inadvertently left his phone recording while he was under anesthesia for a colonoscopy, which captured audio of the doctors: mocking him, instructing a medical assistant to lie to him, and discussing giving him a false diagnosis of hemorrhoids. In 2015, a jury awarded him $500,000.

Cop behavior from the medical professionals honestly. Why be better people when you can handicap people's ability to catch misconduct?

When my daughter was being born, I can recall the nurses telling my mother to put her phone away and couldn't record the birth of her grandchild in case there was malpractice.

Good thing we caught that little line within the video because nothing could've stopped my mom from recording even if it was hospital security.
