There is no explanation except that the camera

November 13, 2007 Spot of Difficulty
I have been a patient in a hospital only twice in my life. Neither experience was fun.
Last week, my path veered into the medical arena for a day for hi-res photos of guts,
prodding and general annoyance with purpose. There was no emergency, labor or
delivery involved and they never showed me the photos. I took my camera with me.
At each station that I visited, someone in scrubs told me not to take photographs.
However, I was feeling rebelious and took some anyway. It was funny that some
of those officials in scrubs wanted to stop and talk photography after they told me
not to take pictures and all of them...all of them agreed to let me take their
photographs and enjoyed being in photographs. People are funny.

The nurse sticking me with these was the grumpiest about the
camera. I gave her no response at all to her order not to take photos.
So she repeated it. I assume she decided that I did not understand
English. There was an elderly lady sitting in a little waiting area
nearby who was dropping eaves a little. After the nurse was done
sticking me with an IV setup, I took the nurse's picture. The key was
that I waited until she was done sticking me with the needle before
clicking the shutter. The nurse was not amused. But the elderly lady
across the way snickered quietly when she heard the shutter and
saw the nurse have a little huff about it. I am not usually this defiant
about anything. But I was grumpier than the nurse that day.

This is the sweet lady who was also waiting to be stuck with
needles then scanned with machines the size of mid-size luxury
import automobiles. As we talked, she revealed that her
husband had been a photographer for the US Navy during WWII.
Now she lives alone in a retirement home. She was very
interested in digital photo developments and was surprised at
how few I actually print. She had just learned how to email digital
photos and was sure impressed with being able to do that. I
asked her permission to shoot her photograph. She gladly
granted that and then said she would not tell the nurses. When
she smiled at the thought of joining me in my rebellion, I shot the
photo. The nurse immediately came over to escort her into the
CT scan room. The lady smiled at me as she left for her tests.
She made it a better day for me.

Regardless of where they ushered me that day, I kept my eye on these
signs. It is always good to know the way out. With a ginormous deductible
on my health insurance coverage, the day's expenses were paid by me.
That means no new camera lenses for a while. My rebellion was probably
rooted in the knowledge that I was personally paying the bills. I will take a
hospital workers came into the scanning room to discuss photography
with me...nice as pie. Then the grumpy one asked specifically if I had taken
any photos of people while there. Now, I am seldom uncomfortable with
silent moments and am aware that is a rare trait for a human. So I just sat
there and enjoyed one while they all waited for my answer.
The head of the day's rebellion smiled and replied, "I would never take a
people shot without the peoples' specific permission. Thanks for your work
on me today. I know the way out."
Maybe I take more than my fair share of comfort from being a little
obnoxious.
I hope one of them took my photo walking down the hall away from them.
