The document outlines a scenario where a patient visits a plastic surgeon for a consultation, during which the surgeon takes pictures with his personal cell phone for a before-and-after collection. It raises questions about the appropriateness of using personal devices for medical photography, potential violations of consent for taking photos, and the patient's feelings regarding the situation. The document prompts a reflective analysis on handling such ethical concerns in a medical practice.

1. You are a patient at seeing a Plastic Surgeon for a consultation.
During your visit, the physician takes out his cell phone and
takes several pictures of the areas for the surgery. During this
process the physician explains that this will be a part of his
before and after collection.
Is there a problem with him using his personal cell phone and
not a camera dedicated to the medical practice? Did you sign
some disclaimer saying photos could be taken for non-medical
purposes? How do you feel about what the physician did? Are
there any violation(s)? If so, explain. How would you handle
this situation? Create a 2-3 page paper to answer the questions
in this case study.
