THREE doctors and a nurse will be charged and other medical staff and students cautioned after a video posted on the internet showed them laughing while removing an object from a patient.
It's believed to be the first case of surgeons breaching patient confidentiality by posting video content on the internet, prompting a huge ethical controversy in medical and legal circles.
The nearly 3-minute video of a noisy operating room shows doctors and nurses laughing, giggling and cheering as a canister is removed from a patient's rectum and was initally posted on YouTube but has since been removed.
