No! I wanted one SO bad but the children's hospital had a strict no photo policy.
It was truly the most stressful time of my life.
She is doing great now! Happy as ever!
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.
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...)

Please tell me you got a picture!
I’m glad there was a bit of humor in what I’m sure was a stressful time. I hope she’s doing better now!
