Oh geez... give it a rest already!!!!!
He was supervised by a doctor, chances are good he’s witnessed many … what is the big freakin’ deal already????
I am so sick of everybody apologizing for everything.
I bet some Actors who play Drs have also witnessed surgical incisions in order to play their role
Want them cutting on you?
I worked in a hospital. The only thing I had to do with surgery is that people used my “tech” to call people in for emergency surgery. As such, I spent a lot of time working with docs, techs, anesthesiologists, etc. Usually they would yell at me because their device went off at 2 AM when they were NOT on call.
That said, if you hang around it long enough you begin to get a sense of the seriousness of the process. I’ve watched from the other side of a door.
The process they go through to start a procedure is very strict. And they stop during the process to double check stuff is right. And no one leaves when it is done until everything is accounted for.
They are people with personalities—but there are steps in the process when everyone acts like a “robot” following mandated safety procedures.
Having someone who isn’t a surgeon cut a patient is one of those times when ANYONE in the room has the authority to stop the process—much like anyone on the Toyota manufacturing line can stop the line when they see something wrong.
It may sound like its “just a funny thing”, but this goes against a LOT of very serious rules. I wouldn’t want to have been anywhere near that room. Because you would pick up being named in a lawsuit, and hours and hours of time in depositions.
This is a huge deal. At least it is now that its public.
I have shoulder surgery in a little while. I HOPE the president of the hospital does the incision. I would love to have a fixed arm, and a comfortable retirement.
