  • Observers in the Medical Setting

    2017, Annals of Emergency Medicine
    Citation Excerpt :

    Why the ED has been a particular focus of such requests has been addressed in part elsewhere. It has been suggested that a sense of theater has developed in the ED, with open and relatively accessible spaces that are filled by colorful and animated characters, often with rich histories,10,11 perhaps of disrepute or disrepair, sometimes intoxicated, at wit’s end, or in crisis. For some it is like a Toulouse Lautrec painting of the Moulin Rouge that the public wishes to see for both curious and intellectual reasons in the Salon of the 21st century.

  • Privacy and Confidentiality in Emergency Medicine: Obligations and Challenges

    2006, Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America
    Citation Excerpt :

    Commercial filming usually, but not always, is for programs that fall into the reality television category, which aim to capture the drama and terror associated with patients who arrive in the emergency department during life-threatening or limb-threatening injuries or illnesses, or with sensational or gory presentations (eg, a limb that has been caught in a cement mixer). Some authors have called into question the appropriateness of even approaching such patients for permission to be filmed [32,40]. Even if the patient does consent, the validity of consent and whether it can be considered informed under such circumstances is suspect.

  • In defense of patient privacy [4]

    2002, Annals of Emergency Medicine
    Citation Excerpt :

    I read with keen interest the letter by Dr. Zibulewsky1 (article #116661) in the August 2001 issue of Annals regarding a recent editorial I wrote.2

  • Filming of emergency department patients [2]

    2001, Annals of Emergency Medicine
    Citation Excerpt :

    I read with great interest the recent editorials in Annals (articles #113559 and #113560) by Geiderman1 and Iserson2 concerning the filming of patients in the emergency department, since, at the very moment I was reading them in my ED during a shift, a camera was fixed on me and I was wired with a microphone, as the crew from Trauma—Life in the ER from the Discovery Channel filmed in our department.
