Can Patients Record Audio and Video During Medical Consults?

When patients want to record their medical consultations, where does convenience end and legal risk begin? In this episode, hosts Brad and Michael share the story of a plastic surgeon caught off guard when a new patient insisted on using an AI assistant to record their consult. What starts as an awkward moment quickly raises bigger questions about consent laws, practice policies, privacy, and patient expectations. Tune in to learn how state recording laws intersect with internal practice rules, why “legal” does not always mean “allowed,” and what health care practices should consider before recordings become part of everyday care. Discover how you can protect your practice and maintain patient trust in an increasingly AI-driven world.
