I truly do not understand the defensiveness. It's a straight record. Objecting raises a whole raft of questions that are more damaging than the actual recording!
-
A lot of professionals are totally paranoid that we will edit recordings or play them out of context, publish them & mistrepresent causing damage to their reputations. Overestimates my technical skill & assumes pts are dishonest & will break law
-
They are fearful.
-
of what? Either they have the conviction of their competence or they don't. The world is not full of nasty patients seeking to destroy professionals for goodness sake. It's in everyone's interests to have an open and shared record.
-
Well we all know what happens when we record. Doctors try to delete and jack shit gets done.
-
The fact that your recordings haven't provoked a sacking, or at least a resignation is an affront to justice Allyn. Aside from any criminal aspect. But imagine if all those in our position had tapes like yours. Now *that* would be hard to ignore.

I have to say I have not hesitated in the historic past to record mtgs with ppl I had previously had problems with. The fact that one of them asked if I was recording before she wld start the mtg made me even more determined. She thought she cld get away w/behaving badly

What is the reponse of staff when you start recording? Do you ask their permission first? Do any object? Trying to imagine the dynamics
-
I actually don't ask permission, but only because I feel it would be disingenuous, given I'm going to record anyway. Bit like asking for consent to treatment then doing something else instead (don't start me). So more inform them openly than ask. Not had a single objection yet.
-
I usually get objections - maybe because staff in mental health settings are generally more suspicious of their clients, stigma maybe. Now I leave it up to managers to ensure anyone working with me knows I will probably be recording them.
-
On the rare occasion I do inform them now eg if I think I might be treated badly & want to prevent it in advance. I say that I'm just letting them know I will be recording the appointment in line with data protection act regulations. I don't get drawn into discussion about it.
-
"If I think I might be treated badly & want to prevent it in advance." Sad, but true reality of how those who understand the inner workings of our healthcare system have to think. And this really is well-considered thinking, imho.
