Disturbing Behavior – a Doctor’s late reaction to the Vicente Sotto Video Scandal

(this is a scene from Grey’s Anatomy – no picture was taken without consent.)
Having been figuratively removed from the world for the past few days, I almost completely missed the explosion of the Vicente Sotto Memorial Hospital Video Scandal into the Philippine media firmament. Now, because of some unthinking, insensitive, and generally stupid health care workers’ behavior, the medical profession is once more being given the spotlight – and not in a good way.
My resident batchmates and I discussed this issue over dinner last Saturday. Having been trained in charity teaching hospitals, we are not unfamiliar with being surrounded with so many young student spectators, whether nurses or medical students, while in the heat of an urgent medical procedure – like an urgent intubation or even an on-going resuscitation.
Despite this understanding and experience, my batchmates and I were all hard put to justify the behavior of the nurses and doctors who are involved in the above case. While at the time, I had not yet seen the video, the mere narrative of what had transpired disturbed me. More so after I had.
