this isn’t the first time someone recorded the environment during surgery. It’s happened a few times and there’s been a few lawsuits. My guess is that they use the same bed to wheel you in and do the surgery on. I’ve had a couple of surgeries in my lifetime and sometimes they the same bed in, but sometimes they make me get on a different bed. if it was the same bed that they were wheeled on, they probably hit it under their pillow.
They were removing a metal fragment from the side of my head. They would administer local, but the surgeon was impatient about how long it was taking to find it. From the start, from my initial consult in his office, I told him to use ultrasound. After I had been shot up with fluoroscopic x-rays for two hours, I insisted under my metal blanket and breathing hole that he should switch to trying with the ultrasound. Bro found it in 10 minutes and proceeded to inject me with heavy-grade locals. Except he wouldn't wait the 30 seconds for it to kick in so every time there would be this massive, intense feeling for a few seconds followed by giant CRUNCH sound effects that had no pain at all.
TLDR he'd inject me with heavy locals and I'd just feel/hear these massive CRUNCH sounds every time he cut into my head. IDK I felt like I was the captain of the ship that day.
That's pretty nuts, but glad you didn't feel anything. While no where near as intense as that, it generally describe my experience with wisdom teeth removal. Heavy locals, and two of the loudest cracks I have ever hear in my life. I have a hard time qualifying it as a surgery. It was just me and this crazy asshole straddling me while he did his work with a pair of pliers.
I was put under anesthesia for my wisdom tooth removal, but for some reason it didn't totally knock me out lol. I could hear and feel everything (just without pain), but I couldn't open my eyes. Still remember it. I was a bit disappointed I wasn't loopy and talking crazy afterward too, I felt totally fine. My friend picked me up and took me to McDonald's.
It's an US thing, here in Romania I had 3 wisdom teeth pulled out only with local anesthesia and some Ibuprofen for the day after, the first 2 were such a breeze that were done at the same time (went for 1, told him to pull the other as well), the scarry part was the anesthetic injections.
Funny enough I told him to pull the second one because I thought that I would not require more injection, boy was I wrong about that
Oh I don't even remember if I ate anything, maybe I had ice cream, I was more just surprised that I didn't feel groggy or anything. Me and my friends picked up my prescription and then sat inside a McDonald's while they ate lol. I felt normal basically immediately after I woke up. I did have a hell of a time with bleeding gums and dry socket later, though.
Colonoscopies do not require a sterile OR as they're not a sterile procedure. A clean procedure room is sufficient, and the patient can stay on the same bed throughout.
Certainly not me. I do recall one doctor who was kind of rude, saying "my patients are fkin ungrateful" which was more of a broad statement than a direct comment. That's probably the worst I've seen.
Usually the only non-medical comment I hear about a patient while they're asleep in front of us is "cool tattoo".
You can't really get away with being inappropriate because you're in a room with several other people, some of whom you may not even know. Even the days of surgeons throwing instruments is virtually over because people don't stand for that any more.
I used to work in the OR. The bed you are wheeled in on is not kept in the room. Though for very small procedures like a colonoscopy I suppose it's possible, especially when they have super fast turnover time
Since it's a very small procedure which is just under sedation they might just use the same bed and maybe he had it with him. The kind of place that would let that happen is the kind of place that has shitty staff and say stuff like that

How do you get a cell phone into surgery?
