Yeah, I totally forgot that Daylight Savings Time is a very very common reason why photos appear to be 1 hour off! Daylight Savings Time occurred only a few months ago. I'm not sure if you've changed your own digital camera's clock, but that's usually one of the very last clocks people think to change, if at all.
Remember, back on March 13, 2011, almost everyone had to move their clocks 1 hour ahead ("Spring forward..."). So if the anesthesiologist's clock was 2:20 pm and if the digital camera's clock wasn't changed for Daylight Savings Time, then it kind of makes sense that times on the photos were 1 hour earlier than the anesthesiologist's record.
Yes, and as GrillMouster mentioned earlier, nowadays, digital photos don't have to include a time and date stamp that is "burned" onto the image, like back in the film days. As you have already found out, the time and date for a digital photo is located within the file itself.
I dunno. I guess anything is possible.Good luck with the local specialty developer tomorrow.
I appreciate everyone's thoughts and guidance. The local expert said similar things regarding date/time stamps and we did discuss influences of DST. I feel somewhat more reassured regarding the timing of the jpegs and x-rays but not of the circumstances overall.
Again, this was never about anything other than taking care of my fur baby and feeling she hadn't gotten the undivided attention I felt she deserved. Nothing--absolutely nothing--could have consoled my heart if she had developed liver or kidney failure or I'd lost her over this. Hey, it happens in humans...
Good luck with the local specialty developer tomorrow.
