Author Topic: Yes? Jan, RN Member # 10035 posted                    Marking the site is a legal requirement. I try to explain that we do only tubal reversals and are following the surgical protocol. TulipGarden Member # 13451 posted                    LOL!!! Cocoa! That was funny Susie, RN Member # 12961 posted                    Yes, we are hoping there will soon be a baby in there ! But seriously, "yes" is another way of saying we have consent for surgery and indicating the correct location. Luv2BDagain Member # 13481 posted                    Cocoamommy~ You made me laugh so hard! I needed that! God bless, Denise TulipGarden Member # 13451 posted                    I hope I dont get a NO. LOL Just kidding I would have wondered the same thing! Cocoamommy Member # 11916 posted                 I'm going to see if they can write yes on my butt to because I need some work done on that! lol Luv2BDagain Member # 13481 posted                    I got the biggest kick out of this! It makes good sense, though I have never seen it in my homestate. I like the idea that it means "yes to a baby", though. Coloradomom Member # 13325 posted                    That makes sense especially in a big hospital. Sally, RN Member # 7389 posted                    Heather--This is a safety measure to insure that the surgery you are having done is on the right body part. The patient marks the "yes" to indicate that they agree that this is where they understand their surgery is. This is more critical in a general hospital where they are doing surgery on limbs or other body parts where there is right sided or left sided surgery. At CHTRC, the "yes" will always be over the lower abdomen or navel (if a laparoscopy is done). Sally,RN honinurse Member # 13569 posted                    It is legally required. It is to acknowledge that you agree that you are having a specific surgery on your abdomen. It lets the surgen know he is working on the correct body part and it is the correct procedure. It may seem silly since you only have one abdomen and they only perform one kind of surgery, but it is law in North Carolina. It helps to prevent "oops." ie you should have amputated the right leg not the left. They should have asked you about the surgery and then wrote "yes" on your abdomen. momto10 Member # 11808 posted                 I didn't know they wrote a "yes" on my tummy... Gwen aliyahsdream Member # 13556 posted                 Okay. Before surgery the nurse writes a "yes" on your stomach. What is it for? Are they doing a poll? Are they saying, "yes, there will be a baby in there"? LOL DH is still laughing over that one. Heather
