The Surgeon Leads
Captions available
The idea
The surgeon leads the surgical team, makes the critical decisions, and bears ultimate responsibility for the surgery.
In practice
Before the case the surgeon evaluates the patient, chooses the approach and obtains informed consent; afterward the surgeon follows the patient's recovery.
Where people slip
Leading the team does not mean nobody else may speak; a concern about safety is everyone's to raise.
