Good move for privacy....medical treatment should not be treated like news for the front copy of the National Enquirer or any of the other tabloids....nobody wants to have photographs posted on the web when they are at their worst...this ban applies to the psychiatric areas of the hospital...BD
UCLA's neuropsychiatric hospital has banned all cellphones and laptop computers after a patient posted group photos of other patients on a social networking website, officials confirmed Monday.
Dr. Thomas Strouse, medical director of the Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital, said in a statement that the decision was part of "UCLA Health System's ongoing efforts to enhance patient privacy and confidentiality in compliance with California's patient rights law."
