A class action lawsuit has been filed against The Learning Channel's reality show, "Trauma: Life in the ER," and Jersey Shore Medical Center in Neptune, New Jersey. The suit was filed on behalf of thousands of patients filmed since 1998 who claim they were tricked into appearing on TV, and that the show violated statutes requiring privacy for patients. The plaintiffs claim that the producers and hospitals engaged in fraud to obtain the patient's permission to film, and that they were lied to when they were told that the filming would be used for doctor training, when in reality it was "free material for a shock cable TV show."
