Doctors are angry because people are filming them on smartphones. Patients are secretly using phones to film their hospital visits and talks with doctors. The videos are then put on social media. Doctors want a ban on video recording in hospitals. The videos affect many health workers. A spokesperson said people need to think about their recordings, and whether they disrespect the privacy of other patients.

Hospital workers are worried about the videos. They do not want them on social media. A worker spoke about this problem. She said: "We had a member of staff who agreed to take photos for a patient, but when the patient handed over her phone, the member of staff saw that the patient had also been [secretly] recording her." She added: "We wear name badges, so our names will be visible in any video. It makes people feel very uncomfortable."
