As it is, they are not subject to random substance abuse testing, and we all know about the white wall of silence. If a doctor makes a blatant mistake, hospital personnel are too afraid to report him or her for fear of losing their own job, so what recourse do the patients have? Lawyers won't take a case on contingency unless they are certain there will be a big payout for them. If you don't pay your bill due to being ignored or because of poor treatment or mistakes, the doctor has a collection agency behind them to make sure you do. In the case of a child who cannot defend himself or question what is being done to him I think the webcam is one way of protecting him when he is alone in a hospital room with no parents present.
