As a student, you are following a tech in your surgery rotation. As you are watching a Cystoscopy exam in a surgical suite, suddenly the tech is called to another surgery to take an x-ray. He shows you how to step on the fluoro foot peddle as the Dr. requests it. You have not passed a competency test for this exam and are not to be left alone in surgery. The tech assures you that he will be back before you need to do anything. He takes longer than expected and you are told to take some images for the Dr. Do you take the images? Do you let someone know that you are just a student and not qualified to do anything in surgery yet? Do you let your clinical instructor know that you were left alone by the tech, know that this would probably get him in trouble?
