There is an urgent need for a wall between live cameras and medical treatment

2022-01-20

On January 18, Donggang Branch of Rizhao Public Security Bureau, Shandong Province received a report from the masses that a doctor suspected of broadcasting a segment of gynecological surgery online. The police immediately investigated the relevant personnel of the hospital involved and arrested the doctor Li on the same day. At present, the case has been filed and the case is under further investigation. On January 19, the hospital concerned said that it would further seriously deal with the doctors involved according to the police's investigation conclusion. According to the netizen who broke the news, he accidentally entered a live broadcast room on a platform on January 15. It was learned from the dialogue that a male anesthesiologist conducted a live broadcast when a female patient underwent gynecological surgery. The live broadcasting platform said that after internal verification, the live broadcasting in the live broadcasting room was warned and cut off for many times, and then permanently banned. The phenomenon that the camera is aimed at the medical field for live broadcasting occurs from time to time. For example, nurses broadcast the work process while filling drugs, ICU personnel broadcast the rescue process while rescuing patients, secretly take ultrasound images of pregnant women, broadcast the sleeping position of newborn babies, "net red" pretending to be ill and selling miserably, social personnel self-directed and self performed Doctor-patient Conflict videos, etc. This shows that the live broadcast has penetrated into many medical fields and has become a major problem for patients to seek medical treatment. Although live broadcasting is very common in hospitals, this live broadcasting event still needs to be paid great attention. Because in terms of privacy sensitivity, the live broadcast broke the record again and broke the bottom line. The operating room is the medical field that needs to be isolated from the outside world, and gynecological surgery involves the most sensitive privacy of patients. If the patient lying on the operating table knew that he was in public view, he could imagine the degree of shame and anger in his heart. It can be said that the live camera acted as a knife to kill, and the patient's privacy and dignity were killed. There is an urgent need for a separation wall between live cameras and medical treatment, and the construction of this separation wall should first include various management means. There is no lack of regulations on privacy protection, but abstract regulations need to be closely combined with specific medical behaviors. It is necessary to refine relevant regulations into hospital management system and medical operation norms. At present, the types of hospital management systems and medical operation specifications are very complete, but since live broadcasting is a new thing, there is still a lack of systems and specifications related to live broadcasting, which should be supplemented as soon as possible. The hospital has many traditional practices in privacy protection, such as covering up the places where examination is required, stipulating that outsiders are not allowed to enter, etc. the main function is to avoid irrelevant personnel from "seeing" or "hearing" the patient's privacy. However, the society has entered the era of live broadcasting, and the lens is everywhere. The measures to prevent privacy from being "seen" or "heard" should also be upgraded. Whether we should shield the signal in sensitive areas such as key operating rooms and women's examination rooms, and whether we should prohibit the carrying of electronic equipment into key areas are worth discussing. In this incident, not only the doctor involved was broadcast live, but also the medical staff around him acquiesced in the doctor's behavior and did not stop it. This shows that whether it is the live broadcast or the bystander, their awareness of privacy protection and the rule of law are relatively weak. Medical institutions should strengthen privacy protection education, so that medical personnel can not only treat live broadcasting carefully, but also dare to fight against live broadcasting violations of patients' privacy, and build a strong privacy defense line through self-discipline and heteronomy. At present, many medical personnel have opened live broadcast accounts. Many medical live broadcasts play a role in popularizing science and strengthening doctor-patient communication, but frequent privacy leaks also warn us that the problems brought by medical live broadcasting can not be ignored. Build a solid separation wall between the live broadcast lens and the medical treatment, block the improper live broadcast outside the wall, and draw a red line for the legitimate live broadcast, so as to not only play the positive role of the medical live broadcast, but also maintain the patient's privacy and prevent such malignant infringement from happening again.
