Sacramento surgeon make court appearance while performing operation

A Sacramento, California, plastic surgeon appeared for a traffic trial Thursday via videoconference live from his operating room with a patient on the table.


But the judge wasn’t having it.


With medical machinery beeping in the background, Scott Green appeared before Sacramento Superior Court Commissioner Gary Link’s virtual courtroom in his surgical scrubs and a mask, with his patient undergoing a procedure just out of view, the Sacramento Bee reported.


When a courtroom clerk asked if he was ready to go ahead, Green replied that he was, but Link refused to move forward with the multitasking doc.
Green tried to reassure him and said there was another surgeon working with him, but Link insisted it wasn’t appropriate and set a different date for the trial..”
