I once had a Resident try to perform surgery on me that can only be done once...

it had been done previously. He insisted. I was pretty weak at that point but I knew as soon as he saw the scar he'd stop so I let him go through the day surgery prep at my bed side...swab down the area...gown up and...
reveal.
I watched his face. It was worth it.
He looked at me, saw me staring at him and I whispered, "I'd like to talk to your Attending. Right. Now."
I proceeded to chew onto the guy like he wasn't there, to his Attending.
He's lucky this was prior to Diva or that my parents (mother in Healthcare and an absolute Lioness in that setting and my father - the lawyer) where not there.
