If someone is undergoing surgery in an operating room, there's a chance that they or one of their loved ones will see an extra person there, sometimes coaching the doctors. They aren't scrubbed in, but are often present while medical devices like new hips or knees and installing cardiac defibrillators or spine surgeries occur.

Coping with a wrongful birth claim is difficult and comes with many challenges. Throughout a pregnancy the expectant mother has the right to test the fetus for certain medical conditions and impending birth defects. If a doctor runs these tests and determines there is a complication, parents then should have the right to decide if they want to continue with the pregnancy.
