What is patient profiling?
In medicine, we are engaged in patient profiling when we make biased assumptions regarding our patients, their health status, and their risk factors based on their demographics or appearance. Profiling can fracture the patient-provider relationship and contribute to inequitable care.
Can you take a picture of a patient in the hospital?
Patients can never be visible in the photo and / or video without written permission from the patient. This also applies to recordings outside on the hospital site. You can take photos or make videos of yourself in the hospital, but other patients or staff members cannot be recognizably visible or audible.
How can you tell if a nurse is lying to you?

How can you tell if a patient is telling the truth?
There’s no definite way to tell if a patient is telling the truth or not, but you can always look out for specific verbal and nonverbal cues. Take, for example, questioning. If you ask a question and your patient takes quite a while before answering, there’s a good chance that he is lying.
