How many reps are ther typically in your ortho and spine ORs?
What training do they get prior to being admitted to your OR?

That's messed up.We have an ofirmev rep in every room at all times. They give you a Starbucks gift card every time you give their stuff. It's pretty sweet!

I am obviously one gullible SOBWow. I thought that was silly enough to be recognized as a joke.
But seriously the only rep I've ever seen that provides anything for us has been ofirmev.
I've seen this more than once.Had a case cancel this weekend. Rep couldn't make it because of weather. Never had that one before, but I guess they're an essential part of the operation now.

That's surprising............ and mildly disturbing.
Don't just hate it/them; push them out of your space. If they need space, they should feel free to stay in the circulator's/scrub's corner. If they really need to be close to the field, next to the anesthesia equipment, let the pertinent one or two stay there, as needed, with the understanding that they get out of your way stat when you need to do stuff. This is not the surgeon's corner at the local pub.In a spine case today. 4 reps. I hate when they use my space for their crap.

Always ask yourself: in case of an emergency/code, do I have enough space to work? Same goes for people putting crap on your cart/machine. You are the EM/CCM doc in the ICU, and those are your tools/space in case of an emergency. Do not compromise, even if you are a resident. Be polite and accommodating, as much as possible, but put patient safety first.
