Patients are suing the Sharp Grossmont Hospital in California and Sharp HealthCare after private gynaecological procedures were covertly recorded. Sharp said reports of missing equipment and medicine from anaesthesia carts in three female treatment rooms led to the installation of the cameras to catch the culprit, citing concerns over patient safety. Intended to survey the carts’ immediate surroundings, a third-party administrator revealed the cameras instead recorded procedures for almost a whole year. The lawsuits allege the recordings were then left on unsecured computers, with no record of who watched them.
