Shit sounds like an easy excuse for sexual assault.

It blows my mind that every second under anesthesia isn’t recorded in HD video by both parties, for liability reasons.

the one time I was put under (dental surgery) I used my phone to record audio. really boring drilling sounds.

[–] PopcornPrincess@lemmy.world 59 points 1 year ago (2 children)

At least you could confirm what was being…drilled.

Mirrors were involved too!

But for real surgery, you cannot take your phone into the OR.

This shit right here is why people don't trust the medical community. Nonconsensual vaginal and anal exams are beyond the fucking pale. There is legitimately something wrong with these people.

No, this shit is largely unknown, ~~and if you read the article it’s also a thing decades past, and punishable by law nowadays.~~

The reason why people don’t trust medicine is active misinformation about biG bAd PhArMa and appeal to nature.

if you read the article it’s also a thing decades past, and punishable by law nowadays.

The article says nothing of the sort. 6 states ban the practice, the author assumes it's been decreasing, and medical organizations have made statements opposing the practices. Nevertheless, after those statements were made, the practice was still ongoing.

Urgh much better link. I’ll take my mistaken conclusions from that other link out.

In some communities there is a distrust because the government, under the guise of medicine, performed human testing without even informing the patients/victims of what was going on, or outright lying to them.

[–] NerdyPopRocks@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

True but I wouldn’t say largely unknown. Depends on what community you come from

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago

wait what the fuck

[–] lady_maria@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

I believe this is still legal in multiple states.
