When the female patient underwent gynecological surgery, she was photographed by the doctor on the private part, and it was actually broadcast in real time on the live broadcast platform.
On the evening of January 18, the public account of the Donggang Branch of the Public Security Bureau of Rizhao City, Shandong Province, issued a circular, saying that after receiving the report from the masses, the relevant personnel of the hospital involved were immediately investigated, and the doctor Involved Li Was arrested at about 18:00. The case is currently under further investigation. The platform side also responded that it implemented multiple warnings and cuts off the live broadcast room on the same day, and then permanently banned it.
In this era of "everything is live", many live broadcast content is indeed "eye-opening". However, live broadcasting is not without forbidden areas, and the anchor's footage cannot be done as it pleases. Doctors using their positions to facilitate the filming of patients' private parts and public live broadcasts not only violate the patient's right to privacy, but also violate the doctor's practice ethics. With the intervention of the police, if this act touches the boundaries of the law, it will pay a heavy legal price.
The Physicians Law clearly stipulates that physicians should respect, care for and care for patients in their professional activities, and protect patients' privacy and personal information in accordance with law. For the occurrence of privacy-related diagnosis and treatment activities between doctors of the opposite sex and patients, there are also some customary practices in the industry to protect the privacy of patients. For example, a male doctor who examines a woman's private parts may require the presence of a female health care worker. In fact, this is not only a respect for the rights of patients, but also a supervision and protection of doctors' diagnosis and treatment behavior.
Public live streaming of patient privacy is a clear violation of the Physicians Act. If it is determined to be "serious circumstances", the doctors involved in the case will not only face a fine of up to 30,000 yuan, but also face the penalty of being ordered to suspend practice activities for more than six months and one year until the doctor's practice certificate is revoked. If the disclosure of patient privacy constitutes a crime, criminal liability may be pursued in accordance with the law.
According to the Internet, when the doctors broadcast the gynecological surgery, there were other medical staff present. So, do other medical staff really not see the invasion of patient privacy under their own eyes, or do they "turn a blind eye"? Does this hospital pay attention to the education of medical ethics and medical style, and do a good job in the management of doctors? How can patients trust this hospital and doctors in the long run?
The question is also whether doctors engage in live broadcast activities and have the motivation to make profits from them? Attracting huge traffic through live broadcasting, and thus obtaining gray revenue, is not a transaction of patient privacy?
Practitioners in some special industries must be cautious when engaging in live broadcasting. As far as the medical industry is concerned, the privacy of patients that doctors may contact includes not only the privacy of body parts, but also all aspects of the condition, age, personal life habits, etc. If you are not careful, the live broadcast may be leaked. Doctors can also be distracted while working and live, misjudging the patient's condition and causing medical malpractice.
Many reports show that there are quite a few medical staff currently engaged in live broadcasting. However, many hospitals lack effective management of doctors' live broadcast activities, and doctors' live broadcast behavior has not formed a clear norm, relying entirely on the constraints of their own professional ethics.
Some people may think that it is reasonable for some doctors to broadcast live or record short videos for the needs of health communication and medical science, and have also been recognized and welcomed by society. However, in any case, as long as the doctor's live broadcast activity involves the privacy of patients, it is necessary to obtain full consent, and it is absolutely impossible to infringe on privacy in the name of "science popularization".
At the same time, the platform that provides a communication channel for doctors' live broadcasts should also strengthen the obligation of review. Because medical activities have a certain professional threshold, in addition to the general review of the platform, it is also advisable to hire professional auditors with medical backgrounds to judge the value and compliance of live broadcasts. For live broadcasts that clearly violate the rules and infringe on the rights and interests of patients, they must immediately go offline and withhold the improper gains of the anchor in accordance with relevant procedures.
No one can accept that their privacy is unreservedly offended while lying in a hospital bed. Therefore, when such improper live broadcasts are found, netizens should also actively perform their reporting obligations, oppose the unhealthy trend of live broadcasting, and prevent the secondary dissemination of patients' private pictures.
