And that’s basically it!
Jfc, having the girl in the room at all is a liability, let alone letting her touch the patient.
I hope this guy's malpractice lawyer has good heart meds.
Damn bro, women can be surgeons too. It's not 1890 anymore.
Women can indeed. Not so sure about 13 year old girls.
In all fairness, I think it was a joke.
We would want to hope so
So many people not getting that lol
Sarcasm doesn't translate well amongst strangers via text, it's why we've got shortcuts like "/s" everyone should use
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.
When "Bring Your Child to Work Day" goes wrong.
Technically, it went really well.
Aeroflot 593
My understanding is that the drill is fixtured in position in procedures as delicate as this, so that it really can't move and drill anywhere except where it needs to. Likely why Dad thought (wrongly) that it was harmless.
I was thinking this as well. Headlines, no matter the story, are frequently meant to rage bait people.
Is it pretty messed up? Yeah, I'd say that meets the definition. Was the guy actually in danger? Idk? I'm not a rocket scientist.
Edit: Side note, I just saw a "cranial fixation system" for the first time where I work about a week ago. I do not work in a medical field so this is just a really strange coincidence. I won't be elaborating on my career.
Was the guy in any danger?
He was receiving emergency brain surgery.
The last time I remember children being invited to a high-intensity workplace ended up with them fatally crashing an airplane with 75 people on board.
Whilst this is absolutely true, I think it's more constructive to focus on the failure in design that led to the confusion in the cockpit.
There is no doubt that children in the cockpit contributed to the incident, but that incident could have happened with some other distraction.
The failure for the aircraft to correctly notify the pilot of the change in autopilot configuration was clearly very dangerous.
These are the policies of take-your-daughter-to-work day. The doctor's hands were tied.
I missed this in the news, then saw link refers to Kronen Zeitung report which is not a great newspaper to cite so thought for sure it cannot be entirely true? But it is! And here another link from Die Presse (google translate works fine here) which tells us it was not a jerk dad who brought his kid to drill holes but an idiot mom.
Bring your kid to work day?
When the hands on experience goes too far
I mean we called this an apprenticeship for a thousand years or so, right?
There's a reason we call neurosurgery the arts and crafts department.
