Sharp Grossmont Hospital in San Diego apologized after another 50 women, in addition to the 81 suing last week, said they were secretly filmed during gynecological surgeries.

According to the representative of the hospital, the video was intended to fix the theft of drugs.

In their letter of apology, hospital managers reported that the person was caught, and the video is in a safe safe.

Sharp Grossmont Hospital released the following statement:

"Despite the fact that the cameras were intended only to record people in front of the anesthesia stands, others, including patients and medical personnel in the operating rooms, were occasionally seen on the cameras that were recording."

In May, the patient Melissa Escaler, who was secretly filmed during an emergency cesarean section during childbirth in September, 2016, 2012, filed a lawsuit against the hospital. In her words, the video was a “systemic and shocking violation” of privacy rights.

The woman’s claim alleges that in the hospital, around 15 000 videos were recorded with patients during operations. Then she passed part of the video to other people, including lawyers and security guards, according to the suit.

Escaler told NBC 7 that her daughter was born in an emergency.

“When I arrived in the ambulance and was being wheeled into the operating room on a gurney, I was worried about my daughter, who was in distress and six weeks early,” Escaler said. “I didn’t plan to give birth to a baby on September 4th. It was a very stressful and emotional time for my family and my doctor. I would never agree to be filmed in that vulnerable moment."

“These videos show the defendants' patients unconscious, undressed, on the operating table,” the statement said. “Due to the nature of these procedures, women were recorded on video, often naked with parts of their genitals visible.”

The hospital indicated that the patients agreed to videotaped as part of a general patient admission agreement because the problem was patient safety.

NBC 7 told numerous lawyers outside the case that the agreement does not violate patients' constitutional rights to privacy.
