Just to be clear, surg techs do not perform surgery. They are part of the sterile team that assists the doctor during surgery- handing them the proper tools, suction, that kind of thing. And remember, even though she's not going to be part of your sugical team, she still has to follow patient confidentiality rules. She gossips and she could lose her job.

Jadeen ,I realize her what her job duties are ,and I still do not want her in my room ....at all . In our small town (and old Hall ) I have seen how medical confidentiality rules get broken with in the JW circle .

JWs absolutely cannot be trusted to honor privacy or confidentiality. My own experience is that elders routinely share stuff they know about the congregation with their wives -- and the rest of the cong is just as bad. Nothing they love so much as gossip.

Troubled, I was just clarifying because of some comments about being under a JWs scalpel. And I agree, I wouldn't want someone who refuses to talk to me having anything to do with my surgery. In my area, there's quite a few that do medical records- I can imagine the snooping that goes on!

Hello troubled mind,
as you have presented the situation so clearly...do not trouble any further your mind,
just ask the hospital's directio/administration, to make sure that the person you are referring to
will not be part of the surgery team or any other kind of treatment/hospital care given to you.
Simply, it is your undeniable patient's right.
Take courage...you will have peace of mind and you'll succeed,
Greeting, J.C. MacHislopp

I agree with everyone else - you made the right decision. JW health "professionals" have been directed by the borg to ignore the legal confidentiality rules of their workplace. You cannot trust them.
Hope all goes well with your surgery.

It is doubtful they would keep your confidentiality.
