No one is allowed to be in the surgical theater
without a medical license ... unless he is Bill Gates.
As a fact, your statement is false. I have a buddy who is a big wig in Stryker. They make knee and hip replacements.
My friend does not have any medical or nursing degree. He is in operating rooms nearly every day assisting in replacements.
He touches patients, manipulates OR equipment, etc.
although he has never mentioned using a scalpel, he is an active member of the surgery team.
..... Or the patient........
Thats not exactly true — there are a lot of people in an OR, surgical reps I think are the worst, but they are not licensed and there to “help” advise the surgeon.
Is that completely true? Some years back I read that orthopedic companies had some of their salesmen suit up to critique in-theater use of their new power-toys. Am I mistaken, was that a one-off aberration, or did the powers that be put a stop to that?

without a medical license —
In my younger years, as part of my job, on multiple occasions I attended major surgery sessions. I didn’t do anything but babysit some important equipment. At the time, the only license I had was a driver’s license.
Not true, an observer may be present with the permission of the surgeon, anesthesiologist, circulating RN, and patient......
My nephew was such an observer several times when a senior in high school since he was going to pursue a career in medicine.......
observing yes. touching a patient no
