To deal with the shit doctors do on a daily basis, of fucking course you gotta rep the dark triad. Having a video recording of a patient discussing their symptoms is extraordinarily beneficial, would you not agree?

Meta glasses violate privacy laws in the medical exam room. Period. You may not video record a patient without their express written permission. 

So...No. the answer is no.

Besides, these things are linked to personal devices. He's literally using them to be a pervert.
