    What do you think of when you see the phrase “hidden camera” and why doesn’t that include a concealed phone?

      Did I ever say it doesn’t include concealed phones? Do you sweep for hidden cameras, including concealed phones everytime you go to the doctor?

      Again, it has happened, but when it’s single digit instances out of thousands or millions of doctors, that’s almost never.

        You said “hidden cameras aren’t common” but cameras that can be easily hidden are extremely common. If I misunderstood what you meant when you said they weren’t common, I apologize.

        No, I don’t because I trust my doctor.

        Which was my original point; it’s interesting that people have two seemingly different types of trust with their doctor. They, apparently, trust them not to be a secret creep, but they don’t seem to trust them not to be a blatant creep.

        It reminds me of some saying I read once that goes something like “If you tell a person there are a billion stars in the night sky, they’ll take your word for it, but if you tell that person there’s wet paint on a bench, they’ll have to touch it to believe you.”

        It’s just an interesting phenomenon, that the same person can be trusted and not trusted regarding essentially the same action.
