This is the very reason that a good operating room will have x-ray equipment stored in the OR itself. I believe that this surgeon has had to wait a while for intra-operative X-ray before this incident and was probably fed up with always having to “wait” or have his patient wait and be charges for every minute of anesthetic and O.R. time.

I used to stick up for myself. I have dodged instruments and other things. Every time I demanded an apology and got it. Many times we would become better workers with mutual respect. I was often asked to eat in the physicians dining room. If they can get your goat they will. I didn’t take their sheet. I would have them call me at home to help with cases at night. Stand your ground. As I would say, you’re no smarter than me you just have knowledge in a different area.

I had an Orthopedic Surgeon who routinely screamed, cussed, and generally made an idiot out of himself everytime I was in surgery with him. Then, he would come down to the Radiology Department to review the films we had taken, and apologize for being such a pain in the you know what. Guess surgeons are just human like the rest of us, but I did appreciate the fact that he was willing to admit it.
