Here we go again!  As I’ve stated many times before, no pictures in the hospital and no posting them on social networking sites.

In this case a patient is suing a physician and the hospital after pictures were taken while she was in the emergency room and posted on Facebook and Instagram.

While still in the emergency room, the security guard asked him to delete the pictures and the physician stated that he would. So he also had a warning.
