Nurses who work in an endoscopy clinic can you guys help me answer a question.
Who is the one who handles the biopsy forceps and "opens/closes" it?
At the place I just recently got hired at, they used medical assistants for that. Is that legal?
This is my first time working in an endoscopy clinic. I have been an MA for a family practice for 2 years. The doctor said that I can be trained to handle the forceps and from the looks of it, it isn't that hard to master, but I am just worried about the legal issues. I don't want to be sued or have a chance of being sued.
