PITTSBURGH - An Allegheny County woman is suing Allegheny Health Network, owner and operator of West Penn Hospital, after a nuclear medicine technologist allegedly filmed her undressing for a medical procedure.
According to a complaint filed Feb. 1 in Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas, Lori Hadden was a patient at the hospital undergoing treatment for melanoma. In September of 2018, she was at West Penn to undergo an intraoperative sentinel lymph node mapping, which took place in a radiology room with Guy Caley, the technologist.
Hadden allegedly was instructed by Caley to completely undress and put on a hospital gown for the procedure. The patient did as instructed, underwent the procedure, reclothed and left, the suit says.

While first responders have been given priority access to the coronavirus vaccine, evidence suggests local public safety workers are being vaccinated at different rates.
About three-quarters of Pittsburgh firefighters have been vaccinated, the head of the firefighters union said Wednesday. And while the city said it does not track vaccinations for its own workers, Allegheny Health Network reported that of the 1,500 emergency medical services workers with which it works in other municipalities, about two-thirds have been vaccinated.
Those rates are consistent with some recent figures documenting the general public’s willingness to get inoculated. On Wednesday, Gallup found that 71% of Americans are willing to get the shot, the highest rate the firm has recorded since July. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported this week that, between September and December, the number of Americans who say they’ll get the vaccine rose from 39% to 49%.
