Watched them pull files and read all of it...I know because one resident pulled me aside over my own nurses notes on a patient, went over my comments in detail..so no, wrong.
Also, dont ever assume they dont read nurses notes they DO. All of it.
No..you cant because that isnt true. At all.
I had to go into surgery myself, and I KNOW firsthand that my surgeon had read my entire file, including the anaesthetists notes beforehand who had written detailed notes on a previous episode..the woman was an encyclopaedia.
In what country? Not here, mate.
Heres a small addendum
A patient of mine was due for surgery, the anaesthetist came to see them, she said "Oh you're the one who is going to put me to sleep tomorrow", the anaesthetist, with the files in her hand, looked sharply at her and said " No, Im the one thats going to make sure you wake up tomorrow after a successful procedure".
