Re: Med Bay Security Recordings [Kirk/Giotto/Spock/McCoy]

With all due respect, Captain, why?
The point of restoring the records is to provide them to Starfleet Medical as part of the epidemiology report. Whatever Dr. Boyce includes in the final report will of course be available to you, but with patient identities blurred. As Dr. McCoy pointed out there are issues of patient confidentiality and Starfleet takes the right to personal privacy very seriously. Unless there is a compelling security reason and I sure as hell don't see one, sickbay records can only be viewed by non-medical personnel with the permission of the patient or the doctor-in-charge and preferably both it dates all the way back to HIPAA, look it up.
