If a doctor suddenly died while doing surgery, would the other doctors work on the doctor or the patient?

Answer 1

yes ofcourse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!>..........

Answer 2

If the doctor completely died, they'd keep working on the patient. However, there would surely be enough people that, regardless, some would work on the patient, others on the doctor. I mean, hospitals do constantly recieve multiple cases at one time. This would just be another one.

Answer 3

Both. The assistant doctor steps in for the patients. A code goes out for the team to work on the stricken doctor

Answer 4

thanks for a sensible question!

if a surgeon died while doing a surgery on a patient, there would really be a trouble in this case.

but following what we call "priorities", we just have to bear in mind this question.

who has the higher chance of survival?

- in the situation you gave, the doctor is already dead, so that means that the patient undergoing a surgery has the higher chance of survival.

so, i can clearly say, the priority of the medical team is the PATIENT!

for the doctor's case, if he can no longer be revived, he has then would have to be delivered in the morgue. hehe!

hope, i answered your query well...

Answer 5

If the doctor is dead, I would hope they would work on the patient.

Answer 6

the doctors present would keep working on the patient and another team would work on the doctor. the doctors' first priorty is the patient, but they would also try and save their own.

Answer 7

I imagine the proper thing to do would be to work on the patient-afterall their job is to save the "patient"; he was a doctor first...and would have been a patient last had he lived.

Answer 8

well if the operating doctor is dead then they would work on the alive patient.

Answer 9

Probably, the doctor.

Answer 10

LOL of course they are going to work on the doctor nice question hahaa.....

Answer 11

There would be a lot of Dr. to help both!! And also if the Dr. is dead there is not much to do if you are already dead!!!
