ivy;4039126 said:The whole video was 4:40 and it had a lot of patient photos. Michael's photo was one of them and unfortunately the still picture of the video. Given his specialty, I think before and after photos are common. But I'm having hard time to believe Michael consented his photo to be taken during such treatment and especially under sedation. Perhaps there was some fine print on the documents he signed at his office allowing pictures but still seems to be such abuse of MJ's privacy.
I read on twitter today that Ireland doesn't have a HIPAA law.

I seriously doubt that he has signed letter from MJ in which he agrees Treacy to use his photos for advertising his clinic.
