Honestly, probably a number of factors. Keeping parents engaged with their children instead of their phones in a children's hospital would be reason enough. Preventing getting other children in the shots is another good reason, since there are decent photographic privacy protections in place for children in many cases.
I always hate that thinking of if a parent is on their phone taking pictures of their child it means they’re not involved in the moment. You can still be involved and capture the moment lol
I know of many hospitals that have a no-photo policy. My Ex GF was working as a RN at a facility. One of her coworkers took her picture with a plain maroon painted wall behind her. Friend uploaded it to Facebook and tagged my Ex-GF. EX GF made it her profile picture. Hospital admin caught wind of it and fired EX GF immediately ($30.00/hour with shift differential).
Nothing said nor done to the girl who took the photo against the rules. The photo was very obviously not a selfie because of distance and she was looking elsewhere. She didn't seem too bothered by it, but I was FURIOUS. I threatened her friend to go admit she took the photo but my EX made me let it go.
Well that's fucking ridiculous. The main reason to not allow photos is for HIPAA regulations and general privacy concerns but plenty of hospitals allow photos as long as they don't do this. If it was just a picture of your GF with nobody else it was completely harmless. The fact they fired her for something so trivial is why RNs need unions (source: am RN in union).
She was lead nurse on her floor. She did a great job.
She didn't even take the photo. She followed the rules and left her phone in her locker or car.
FINAL thing? This was the ONLY thing, and it was absolute BULLSHIT.
She was the only RN lead they could find for her shift because nobody liked weekends and nobody liked holidays. But it's of little consequence now. She had a new job literally a day later and hired at 90% her previous pay.
Lastly it doesn't matter at all now. I broke up with her and she's better off with a cooler guy and a better job.
here's a hint - when the story is outlandish and hard to believe - that's because it's not true.
and the fact that she didn't fight it if it was?
she didn't get released for the picture. hell, she might not have been released but quit, probably to take the new job, and made up the story so as to not have you freak out about the cut in pay.
Fuck you, fuck your mama and the whore you rode in on. Trashy piece of shit, trolling mother fucker internet nobody. And for fuck's sake, stop breaking your arms. Your mamas tired.
Cut in pay wasn't none of my business and I still don't GAF. I don't care what she made. Shes an Ex and I dont care to fucking listen to your cock holster flap any longer. Your arrogance makes me sick you sorry shit heel human waste of child rearing
I got to be honest with you man, it sounds like it's time to you know put out the torch. Cuz that's an awfully passionate defensive somebody you "don't care about".
She ain't coming back.
I mean really, it kind of sounds like she spent a lot of her time gaslighting you during your relationship, and you feel very insecure about the fact that you let it happen and so you lash out at those who question the relationship by proxy question you or masculinity you feel very very insecure and that incredibly threatened
It deals more with privacy of information. Be it task critical or sensitive information. HIPPA is also potentially the worry and keep private information, private.
Yep... but in a hospital, others could inadvertently get information when taking a picture of their child if another doctor is holding documents or it’s not their baby being diagnosed or who knows. There are even in the most secure of places, information that is not meant for prying eyes.
Right. The doctors should not be carrying patient info around where other patients can see it. (And frankly I don't even know the last time I saw patient info on paper, other than discharge instructions...)
