    So in the UK official guidance is to encourage patients to record encounters provided it doesn’t compromise other patient privacy. This is because it helps patients remember what’s said and medics shouldn’t have anything to hide with their patients.

      I like that. Should be standard worldwide. The only reason I could imagine why some doctors prohibit cameras are if they make the doctors feel nervous and would cause them to make mistakes. (I personally know as a human I am uncomfortable with cameras and I tend to behave differently on camera than I do in reality). But you think by this point they are well trained enough they would not be nervous working with patients 🤷🏼‍♀️
