i work in a hospital...in a emergency room. they would call a code blue ( when a person has a heart attack or stroke) or a rapid response ( when a person just goes down and they really dont know what is going on) over the intercom system in the hospital. in every er the health worker employees ( i.e nurses and dr.'s) should know the protocol for these 2 response and 1 dr and 3 nurses would leave the er with a stretcher, intubation kit, oxygen etcetc....and take the surgeon out and down 2 the er to work on him while the other surgeons continued with the surgery. the "coded" surgeon in the middle of surgery has turned into a er case and needs 2 be worked on asap...while the pt that is on the table is in a controlled enviorment w/ trained professionals who can continue the procedure.....well that is how it is SUPPOSED 2 work")

Did you say "died"?
Well, as it stands, the doctors should continue with their surgery, barring a few minutes of confusion(?) and making alternate arrangements for attending to the doctor in question...
Being in the noble profession, they MUST put aside feelings of personal grief and concentrate on saving the life that they were/are trying to save. The loss of the doctor is irrepairable but the doctor died while trying to save the patient's life and what better homage than to complete the task!?

He would be dragged out of the way and another doctor will take over. During an operation there are lots of people present, the consultant, his registrar and often housemen too. There will be theatre nurses (often 5 or 6), nursing and medical students and theatre technicians. So as you can see it wouldnt be hard to get the dead doctor away and another to continue the operation;

I would think some of them would try and stabilise the patient on the table[so that he didnt die as well]. The rest of the team would probably try and rescusitate the doctor

If the doctor is dead, why to attend him/her. Keep working on the patient I would say.

it happens all the time, when a patient is being operated on for his heart, whether he is a Dr or no, all patients face risk of dying during operation. Drs too die when operated on,

doctors have no time for the dead, they focus on the living
