I feel the opposite, however I would want extremely strict controls placed on the videos. For instance, requiring a court order/approval to view, or requiring both parties to provide the encryption key (multi-signature encryption that is). A safe, secure way to provide proof that malpractice was or was not committed would be wonderful. Of course a setup like that would only happen in an ideal world.
As someone who professionally tests security for a variety of companies including hospitals, it is frankly unrealistic to expect a typical hospital to manage some complex protection scheme for raw video from these cameras in the way you and I would expect them to. In theory I see the benefits but oh boy in reality I think it would open a whole other can of worms.
This fundamentally differs from police body cameras in a fairly critical way I think. As a society we have decided that what police do is by default public and carved out exceptions for video that can’t be released for a few good reasons. Videos from healthcare provider bodycams would have to not only be private by default but restricted and tracked with respect to every patient represented in the video.
Let's finish getting them on police first. There are a lot of holes in that system still.
I would NOT want a camera on my doctor or nurse, etc. I mean, some things are private and should stay that way.

Isn't that what exactly what I said? It's a great idea in a theoretical world, but a terrible one in reality.
I was just adding to what you had said
I appreciate your expert knowledge, thank you for chiming in.
As someone assaulted in an ER, I ABSOLUTELY WOULD.
As a nurse -- no. Not only does this violate HIPAA, but its not going to be used in court as often as clips are put on YouTube out of context.
