Results

Nurse Storms Out of the Operating Room During an Operation

A registered professional nurse was working as the circulating nurse in the operating room (OR) during a surgery. The surgeon was extremely rude and insulting to her, and she stormed out of the OR half-way through the surgery because she was in extreme emotional distress due to his behavior. The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) accused the nurse of unprofessional conduct and patient abandonment. We successfully defended on the basis that a medical assistant remained in the OR to perform all of the circulating duties for the duration of the surgery, there was no danger to the patient, and there were no complications during or after the surgery. Additionally, we argued that the code of ethics actually required the nurse to leave the OR, as she was unable to perform her duties due to her emotional distress. The IDFPR closed the file with no discipline taken against the nurse.
