Should surgeries be videographed to make medical docs more reliable and responsible in india?

Surgeries should be videographed for the benefit  of the doctors. In fact, now a days several docs have started this practice for themselves and also for patient's attendants to watch how surgeries are performed and where they can improve. It is indeed a very good idea.

ya of course it should be videographed because docs in future wiil try to get more knowledge and expertise of good surgeries and the mediocrity in medical science will eventually wipe out for the betterment of mankind. Also then the real examiners of good surgeries will not be surgeons and scientists but the public themselves where the question of mistake wont arise!!

Yes, definitely. It should be normal. Hippocratic Oath w/o evidence of practice is nothing.

yeah offcourse it will be fruitful for patient as well as for medical students but it should not always be used as a weapon for doctors because doctors deal with human bodies not machine which are thousand times more complicated than machine and chances of errors are there during performing surgeries even by skilled hands

THANKS ANITA WORTHWHILE DEBATE -- IT IS SAID SEEING IS BELIEVING.

IN THE ERA OF LEGAL AWARENESS AND PATIENT BECOMING MORE AWARE OF HIS OR HER RIGHT TO INFORMATION.

IT IS NECESSARY TO HAVE ALL MAJOR CARDIAC,ORTHOPAEDIC, GYNAECOLOGICAL SURGERIES VIDEOGRAPHED.

SO THAT IN THE EVENT OF A BOTCHED UP SURGERY OR AN ALLEGATION ON SURGEON THE FILM CAN BE USED AS AN EVIDENCE - FOR A FAIR TRIAL.

MOREOVER SUCH CAM CORDED FILMS CAN BE USED AS A GOOD EDUCATIONAL TOOL FOR BUDDING MEDICAL STUDENTS AND AS A CME FOR EVEN SENIOR DOCTORS ON NEW SURGICAL TECHNIQUES.

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF SUCH CAM CORDED SURGERY IS THE LAPROSCOPIC SURGERY, WHICH CAN BE SEEN LIVE BY DOCTORS CONDUCTING OP. AS WELL AS STUDENTS AND EVEN PATIENT"S RELATIVES.

THESE DAYS IT IS MANDATORY FOR ALL INTERVENTIONAL CARDIAC SURGERIES CONDUCTED IN ALL MAJOR HOSPITALS TO GIVE A C.D. OF PROCEDURE DONE TO THE PATIENT UPON DISCHARGE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE AS WELL AS EVIDENCE OF PROCEDURE DONE.

GOOD LIVELY TOPIC LETS HAVE MORE VIEWS ON IT.

child deliveries can be viewed in real or closed circuit tv , but not for the pain and discomfort to the lady but to be a part of joy of giving birth

Yogeeta good debate, I too agree that surgeries should be video taped. This will not only help in case of accidents but also will be used as a guidance for the coming generation. They will learn lot for that.......    

Video surgeries are exteremly important for training pupose and for future treatment guidance.

It can also be used for tha compliance also since the doctors are also negligent which operating patient, like use of mobile phones in OT.
