And yes, the patient doesn't need to know a thing after someone put that bar-coded wristband on him in the pre-procedure area.
Too funny, I was gonna ask you the same question, but I figured you would just say yes regardless so I didn't bother. I've been unlucky enough to see both sides of the equation. I was a surgical tech for a year, and I had surgery two years ago for an embarressing problem below with the 'ole family jewels. Granted, I'm not a surgeon, but I do know what the environment is like, and it sucks bad enough for the patient as it is, without the ambiguity of not knowing who the hell anyone is. I guess we just disagree on that one.

How about an old Chair Force guy with a block-30 Viper on his shoulder. Getting hammered with the flight crew seemed like a good idea at the time. Hindsight is 20/20 my friend.
