A jury in Virginia has awarded half a million dollars to a patient who secretly recorded his doctor insulting him during a colonoscopy. CBSN's Jeff Glor has details.

This is so sad, but unfortunately is more than just common. This incidence was just one out of many.

They should punish all of them for laughing.

I believe that she coming from very very bad families

She is now hiding under a rock somewhere... nowhere to be found.
Probably changed her name, and I think she works for the Military now... ARMY is probably the only place that would hire her.

How did he get his phone into the operating room because that typically doesn’t happen?

and I thought my alleged doctor and staff was degrading me on my tattoo... talking how ridiculous it is (controversial subject) They should know better... How can a patient trust a doctor after that

You mean all I have to do is start some silly arguing before a surgery and when they discuss me on a secret recording I hid I can sue for a half a million for my hurt feelings and never have to work again? Sounds like a pretty good deal to me. I mean that’s what courts are here for, right? Not for people with legit reasons like an actual non fabricated serious mistake that messed them up.
