Photography in Hospitals

[Dogfish]

Hi guys,
Just want to find out if anyone has any experience taking photos in hospitals.. Is it allowed? I intend to take someone on a respirator... Focus on the respirator with the patient out of focus. Anyone have any idea?:dunno:
thanks

 

[dragos]

dun think it is allowed.

Depends on why you are doing it? Are you the supplier of this device? If so, you can try asking the ward/department for permission.... But if you lay person..... Er.... Not sure...

Why would you want to take a photo of a human being in suffering? So many other things to shoot.:nono:

 

[varf]

why don't you ask the staff? i took photos in the hospital's delivery room during my son's birth, with the doctor's blessings.

 

[eikin]

if the purpose is just plain photography for your own, no hospital should allow that. why would anyone want to put the patients on more stress for no good reason?

U can book a studio and remake it to look like a hospital, then hire a model to act as the patient, and get a respirator as the prop.

i dun mind being a paid "patient". hee... :think:

there's hospital 4 animal, birth (m i using d rite term? :dunno: ) and A&E kind.

i dun think hospitals 1 2 turn into another venue 4 our local hoard of photographers (newbies / hobbyists alike) (me included! :sweat: ). i m sure they got more than they can handle rite now already.

can any1 enlighten us if their turnover rate still v high? :dunno:

Hey! Look at the context of this thread.

Dogfish wants to take a picture of a patient on a respirator. Do you know what that mean?

Only two things.

Either a tube plonked down your throat or a hole drilled into your throat!

If you take pictures like that without clearance from the hospital, I guarantee you that you won't be a nurse for very long!

 

[reachme2003]

for a layman, can it also mean a mask over the nose and mouth with a tube connected to a tank or oxygen outlet?

That is not called a respirator.
