Subject: Thanks For Confirming What I Said About Preps Author: Barbara [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 12:16:51 10/30/09 Fri In reply to: old med staff 's message, "Re: The Young Lady Followed The Procedure Manual" on 12:00:22 10/30/09 Fri old med Staff, I appreciate your taking the time to confirm for the doubters what I said about how preps are ordered. Maybe, with two of us describing how it works, they will accept what we both independently said. You also confirmed what I said about the fact that the manual's prescribed method can be adjusted if the surgeon takes the time to specify something different. It works both ways. Sometimes a surgeon wants less of a prep than the manual dictates, but sometimes the surgeon wants more. There was a surgeon I recall who wanted the entire body shaved, except for the head, not just the chest prep, for any of his thoracic operations. The doctor who told the man that "someone got carried away" was the one who made the error. The surgeon should have changed the prep order if she wanted less than the full abdominal prep of the patient. The girl did the standard abdominal prep. She was not told anything different.
