On rounds, the OR supervisor motions you into her office and closes the door. “Yesterday, Dr. Smith showed up late for his afternoon case. I don’t know how to put it. The operation went okay, but he dropped some instruments on the floor, and the assistant did a lot of the work. But afterwards, the scrub nurse said she smelled alcohol on his breath.” You reply: “Thanks for bringing this up. I know it’s tough…” Question 8 options: 1) “Did you file an unexpected event report?” 2) “Does Dr. Smith have any cases scheduled?” 3) “I think the chair of the Department of Surgery needs to be notified as soon as possible. Let’s call her right now.” 4) “What’s Dr. Smith’s record? Has this ever happened before?” 5) “We have an LIP impairment committee. I’ll ask the committee chair to talk to Dr. Smith.”
