Er hang on, while the man was silly the midwife was also a bit of a fool imo. For both the father AND the midwife to be more concerned about the filming than the baby is ridiculous.
We haven't heard that the filming was interrupting the process of clearing the baby's airway. Nowhere does the article say that.
Let's be careful about how we view this. It may very well be that the guy was getting in the way but he may not have been. If I was a medical professional I wouldn't want my actions filmed from a 'don't sue me' perspective. I wouldn't want video evidence of my performance if the baby didn't make it.
That's why I would ask for filming to be stopped.
Cop on. There was a life at stake, the midwife does not want to have a camera shoved in her face or have to think about the idiot beside her with the camera while she concentrates on performing a life saving procedure, even if it is a routine one, on a 30 second old baby. He is 110% in the wrong.0 -

No, I do have a point. Unless the man was interfering in the procedure by being too close, or in the way, then the midwife should have just done her job and had no concerns for whether the man was filming, dancing a solo tango or sticking a trumpet up his arse and trying to play waltzing matilda by farting (apart from the hygiene issue of the latter of course).
Understand me, I think the man is a fricking idiot for his behaviour, it's inexcusable and I certainly wouldn't have done it but it doesn't change the fact that nowhere does the article say that the filming was interfering in the midwife performing her duties, she may simply have been ascribing her own morals to the situation (show some respect man) or covering her arse (I don't want this on film and coming back for micro-scrutiny, if this goes wrong).
My point is that we don't know why she asked him to stop filming, that's not made clear at all. If he was getting in the way he should have been bundled out the door by orderlies or theatre staff. We have no indication that he was in the way (although it's very likely!!).
That's my point. It is "a very important job, and it was an emergency situation" so unless he was in the way, why would she be concerned with his filming? If it was me (it would never be!!) and I wasn't in the way and she told me to turn the camera off, I'd be telling her to get on with her job and stop worrying about the camera!
Ever been in a delivery room trying to help a newborn who is struggling to breathe? No? Didn't think so. Distractions aren't wanted. Why did he want to film his child struggling for breath? You would think he would have bigger concerns.
Was he trying to make a snuff movie maybe?
You can look at this anyway you want but the man is still a bint. He should have had to pay compo to the midwife.0 -

That's a fair point. It sounds like routine airway suctioning to me. I don't know all the facts, but it doesn't sound like an emergency.
it sounds like the nurse got annoyed at him filming her, and she snapped, and he got pissed off.
Don't get me wrong, his case should have been chucked out, and he's rightly having to pay costs. I also think he should have to pay compo to the midwife for the stress of having a court case hanging over her for ages.
All, I'm saying is that there's a suggestion there was some kind of emergency, but this might not have been the case.0 -

Doesn't anyone copy and paste any more?
Some people can't access every site as they may be in work or something.
Please (everyone) copy and paste the articles here.
Also, some people just don't want to open another tab or window.
While the first bit is a valid reminder the second bit must be a joke!!! [Is it?
]
- Anyway back on topic; this guy needs to be ridiculed for the remainder of his life, every time he visits the shops for milk and bread hopefully people will jeer and point and throw things at him - ideally this lifetime of epic mocking will continue up until his very death throes and even shortly thereafter ruin any funeral proceedings.
With his 6 X 39 minute tapes!!!! 3.9 hours of Delivery Suite Spielberg mayhem from this cretin!!!!
- The only sad part is that now he is a father and he will mould an innocent child into his likeness destroy the child through perpetuation of his jaw-dropping, Olympian, incredible, monkey-brained stupidity!!!!0 -
