Hadn’t heard that one.
No doubt. General anesthesia doesn’t have a lot of margin for error as I understand it.
Again, not a surgeon, but I can’t imagine any situation where a surgeon should agree to preform plastic surgery if there’s any significant chance to the patient dying during it, unless of course they’re participating in a much more dangerous surgery such as separating conjoined twins.
Oh, it was fantastically asinine. If I were the patient I’d be contacting my lawyer whether I could successfully sue him for malpractice or not. At the very least I’d want to make a formal complaint to his medical board. Even if appearing in court during my surgery didn’t increase my risk or prolong my surgery, it’s still incredibly unprofessional.
I was impressed how composed the flabbergasted judge remained. Green’s fortunate his little ego flex didn’t earn him contempt of court. Pissing of the judge is generally not the best legal strategy.
