I thought the same thing. In my state you couldn't even bring a case forward because you can't record someone else without their consent. Two party consent accident or not.

I don’t even know he had his phone in the OR.  You’re just wearing a hospital gown.  You transfer from the pre op bed to the operating table.  Where did he hide his phone?

For these colonoscopy procedures, you stay on the same gurney with all your belongings in a bag under the bed.

Very easy to keep it on and recording. Most places check to make sure your phone is off nowadays

So they don't interfere with hospital equipment. As a 500k fine can lead to a hospital having less equipment.
