I can't imagine why people downvoted you for that. What you said is how the vast majority of interactions would operate.
People want to a feel good story I guess. My question doesn't aligned with that.
By the time patients arrive at the operating room, all they see are people in mask. Patients can somehow recognize their doctors through their voices and characters. The nurses - there are no points of reference to recognize them. If these nurses happen to walk in front of the patient outside of the operation room, it will be with almost certainty the patients won't recognize them.
When OP explain they know them by their bedsite manners, how could that be possible? Which hospital has surgery nurses who happen to function as ward nurses (bedsite)? Or, which hospital has the convenience to allow their surgery nurses to meet their patients at wards, which is not their normal place of work. Not only that it's not normal for surgery nurses to do that, it's abnormal.
I try to imagine the SOP of the hospital where the surgery nurses were able to show themselves to OP, damn, I still can't. I am really out of loop.
I'll get downvoted again for this. I'll take it with pride.
It does seem that in this case the person was receiving extensive specialized care and had a team formed specifically to attend to their needs. It wasn't just going in for your regular surgery, in which case your version is more likely.
yeah. that could.explain it. my knowledge and experience is not enough, made me out of the loop.
I've been on your side here, but no need to be mean about it.
