Hello Forum!
I am a struggling with a question and I thought that maybe someone could give me an answer to a legal question, I have searched and searched through legal websites for an answer, so I thought I'd give it a go here.
If a person comes to a hospital and a doctor or nurse asks the patient to disrobe and as a result the patient is naked in the hallway even though the patient did not want to disrobe in front of everyone but has to because of a jam packed ER. Does the patient have the ability to come back and file suit for invasion of privacy or trespass if she didn't consent to being viewed by non-medical persons in the same ED. If so what law guarantees privacy or the reasonable expectation thereof.
Thank you ahead of time.
