A third of subjects believed that derogatory and unsavory comments are commonly said about patients in the operating room. Subjects referenced news reports in which healthcare providers were accused of and/or caught behaving unprofessionally: “There were some pretty crude things that were said about a patient” (V34); “Well, I mean, there was that example of the surgeon who was dancing and filming her patients, and things like that” (V05). Some subjects believed that being recorded would “keep the doctors on their toes” (V2) and discourage them from engaging in unprofessional behavior or commentary—a net benefit.
