The Reading / Listening - Secret Filming - Level 0

Doctors are angry because people are secretly filming them. Patients are using smartphones to video hospital visits and talks with doctors. The videos are then put on social media. Doctors want to ban this. The videos affect many health workers. The recordings could disrespect the privacy of workers and patients.

Hospital workers do not want videos of themselves on social media. One worker took a photo for a patient. The worker then saw that the patient secretly took recordings of her. The worker added: "We wear name badges, so our names will be visible in any video. It makes people feel very uncomfortable."
