Hi,
My daughter ,an adult she is 24 at the time, went to the local emergency room at the Winchester Hospital. She was taken to a room and asked to undress which she did. While waiting for the doctor to come she was looking around an noticed a web cam crudely duct taped to the wall. Unsure of what it was she took a picture and once she came home she showed me. I called the hospital that same night and they said yes this is a web cam and due to covid and closing the doors we use this to monitor patients breathing. My daughter was there due to a car accident and had no covid signs and this web cam is not in all the rooms as well as the hospital was pretty empty this night. We do not know who was watch the camera , what if any pictures were taken and what happened to them if they were. We asking what rights we have as she should have told and offered another room.
