Today they posted a story of an OBGYN who went to surgery for a breast care issue and arrived to do a dance with the OR staff in her hospital gown to the songs of a popular artist.
While this is clearly not going to raise many eyebrows in the very permissive communities today, I will say that it is very concerning as a physician to see someone permit this experience and also to consider it was a physician taking advantage of her "house privileges".
You may think this is the neatest thing that you have seen since your sundae at the high school prom, but the reality of the situation is that it places many at risk, carelessly compromises the operative environment. I am a previous surgery resident and I do think that this was not a very intelligent way to go to the Operating Room. I am sure that many of the children who want a fun fabulous experience will disagree, but there are many considerations such as Operating Room Falls, spread of a nosocomial environment and possible accidents in the operating room that are too risky to let some footloose party ensue in an OR. Shame on the whole team and shame on the poor patient who just wanted to kick up her heels for what really is a serious affair.
