Practicing without a license = big no-no (and a crime in every state)
If you are an expert. If you aren’t, you could do damage.
This story is unbelievable to me. Both the surgeon and this guy should have known better.
Surgeon should be fired, too.
And patient should sue hospital, surgeon, and the dude who cut on him.
No they don’t touch the patient. They are there to verbally direct the doctor on how to use the device.
..... Or the patient........
Don't miss next week when Bruce Springsteen removes a gall bladder.
Surgical implant reps were a particular bane of my existence back in my hospital accounting / supply chain management days. In fairness when I started with Humana 40 years ago in their financial management program, I had to work in all hospital departments, including surgery, so as to gain an understanding of how a hospital works.
THey are often used in plot devices on TV. Some show I watched had CHanning Tatums wife as a medical device expert in many of their plot lines.
But I wouldnt want them cutting me. I would want them in the room since they know the device better than some Drs.
Probably ok to watch.
A no no to participate.
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?
Nursing students in surgical rotation are often invited to participate in a procedure under the supervision and direction of a surgeon. Happens more than you care to know or want to admit. Someone had it in for this guy.
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.
Doesnt have an MD let alone a license
The surgeon needs to be fired
And Nancy Pelosi attempts an addadictomy
Only because he got caught
Personal responsibility would have been to say no to even going in to the surgical suite
Not before they have an md. As interns they practice under the surge ins license
There is a huge difference
It looks like the surgeon had his privileges revoked as well. Remember physicians in hospitals are not generally employed by the hospital (although that is changing). They have privileges to practice. it is damn near impossible to revoke privileges...Trust me. But it looks like that happened according to the article
