More than 80 women have filed a lawsuit against Sharp Grossmont Hospital in La Mesa alleging they were secretly recorded while undergoing medical procedures in labor and delivery operating rooms.
Patients were filmed without their consent in three private rooms at Sharp Grossmont Hospital in La Mesa for 11 months, according to a lawsuit filed in San Diego County Superior Court.
The women, who are seeking unspecified monetary damages, say they suffered anxiety, humiliation, embarrassment, shame, depression and feelings of powerlessness after they learned of the recordings. The hospital said that while patients were not the focus of the recordings, they were often picked up in the background.
