Observing Green, he said, “So unless I’m mistaken, I’m seeing a defendant that’s in the middle of an operating room appearing to be actively engaged in providing services to a patient. Is that correct, Mr. Green? Or should I say Dr. Green?”“I do not feel comfortable for the welfare of a patient if you’re in the process of operating that I would put on a trial notwithstanding the fact the officer is here today,” the judge said.
“I have another surgeon right here who’s doing the surgery with me, so I can stand here and allow them to do the surgery also,” Green replied. “I don’t think so. I don’t think that’s appropriate,” Link said. “I’m going to come up with a different date, when you’re not actively involved or participating and attending to the needs of a patient.”
Green proceeded to give an apology. “I apologize, Your Honor, to the court. Sometimes, surgery doesn’t always go as—”“It happens. We want to keep people healthy, we want to keep them alive. That’s important,” Link said.The Medical Board of California said on Friday that it plans to investigate Green. It stated that it “expects physicians to follow the standard of care when treating their patients.
