I dont get how the surgeon thought this was okay. When I have a regular check up I have to give permission for a student doctor to simply sit in on my appointment.
Having a 13 year old drill a hole in your head is waaay beyond that. I hope that doctor has their liscence revoked. They clearly don't give a single fuck about their patients.
Don't surgeries usually have other assistants in the OR as well? Nobody was like "uh, hell no" to this guy bringing a child in and then letting her drill a hole in someone?
Plenty of other people in there, my ex-wife was a scrub, did nothing but OR. But you do not cross a surgeon, and especially not in his domain. Hence the anonymous complaint that kicked this off.
Always say yes to the student doctors and nurses, proud to do my part, but I damned near made a nurse cry one day. LOL, she was wrecked.
I was in the hospital, think they were changing my IV to the other arm? Anyway, that was the sort of thing she was trying to stick me for. This poor woman couldn't nail a vein after SIX tries, gave up utterly humiliated. She keep poking and missing and apologizing, poking and missing and apologizing, getting more flustered each time. I was cold stoned on opiates, thought it was rather amusing, though the pain was getting a little annoying. Still, kept telling her it was cool, she's there to learn and I was happy to help.
They bring another nurse in and he had to make two passes. Y'all, you can clearly see my forearm veins. Maybe I was a little dehydrated or something to do with the drugs?
I think the biggest problem is that she was in no way insured to do that.
If somemebody drills a hole into my skull I dont give a shit about their insurance.
Insurance protects them not me. This is absolutely about the doctor putting the patient into a huge unnecessary risk without the patients consent.
lol your mistype makes it look like you're trying to set a legal precedence to collect insurance by claiming it was yourself drilling the hole in your head.
Let's say something actually went wrong with the operation. Obviously you can sue the hospital, and you'd certainly win that. When you go to sue the doctor for being a fuckwad, his insurance isn't going to cover it. And while I'm sure he's got some money, he can hide it dick around about it just owe you a lot of money.
No, there's a good reason they require doctors to have insurance.
Yes but "the biggest problem" is most certainly not the lack of insurance for the daughter. Its a untrained child playing with the live of a patient.
