Why can’t patients have their surgery recorded for their use if needed?

With so many problems from botched surgeries you would think a patient would be able to request this.

Video guy here. Lately I’ve been doing training videos, installing orthodontic appliances in people’s mouths. It’s very difficult to shoot properly, and the client’s blown away that I can do it. [I use an 8′ Kessler Crane](https://kesslercrane.com/products/kc-8-crane) among other things.

So how would you make video of surgeries, in a way that wouldn’t compromise safety, piss of the prima-donna surgeon, and be clear enough to show if any mistakes were made? Getting a video camera to look down inside incisions, hanging a camera over the table but having it low enough to properly frame, to clearly see procedures while lots of head/hands/towels/sponges are in the way? You’d only really do that if you *needed* a video of it, say for training or something.
