OR nurses

What would happen to a circulator in your hospital if they went as far as to get the wrong patient onto the OR table before the patient was identified as the wrong one? This is as specific as I will get, reminding you that I am not an OR nurse,but in PACU.

Would you be terminated, forced to resign or suspended only?

I have seen the OR staff harassed into "hurry hurry" but I still think that the ID band check beforehand would avoid this. I know I can' speak from experience here, but in my dept we always(ALWAYS)check the ID band upon arrival, just afrer the O2 goes on.
