Ed, you’re 1000% correct. My wife has worked in operating rooms in Boston (Mass General, Brigham and Woman’s, Childrens Hosp. Etc.) for almost 40 years. One of the most important things I have learned from her is the fact that you have to advocate for yourself. She has not only diagnosed family and friends with diseases but has recommended true slick specialist that are truly the best. She is in the room when they are doing their thing. Operating room nurses are better than PCP because they see what happens in the operating room. Example, my sister in law had a pituitary tumor, had gone to her primary care couldn’t diagnose it. My wife heard her symptoms noticed her face had panned and told her what it was amazing!! Every day she is in the OR she has to scold the doctors for throwing things on the floor, throwing countable items out (like sponges) paying attention to needles etc.. her nickname is Mother Teresa 😇.
