Cardiologist Sam Wilson was the doctor who secretly filmed women in a toilet at Nelson Hospital. The High Court on Thursday rejected Wilson’s continued bid for name suppression over the secret filming of colleagues at the hospital and two visitors to his home between 2012 and 2014. Wilson, through his lawyers, issued a public apology for the pain and distress that his “selfish and foolish” actions had caused. The doctor resigned from the hospital after being charged in 2015, and is no longer working as a medical practitioner. He is also being investigated by the Medical Council and is likely to face disciplinary action.
