I accidentally stumbled upon this thread, and I am sure that my comment will be deleted, but I wanted to say that this was done to me, along with holding down my legs, during cataract surgery, and it was traumatic as hell. I am a psychiatric patient, with CPTSD, MDD, and GAD, but never assume that your psychiatric patients are incompetent, or that your same day surgery patients will not remember exactly what happened to them. My eye was not numb when the doctor went in for the first cut on it so of course I twisted my head away and moved my legs which were then manually held down as another restraint, though my whole upper body was wrapped up like a bug in a spider web and couldn’t move. Never assume that you are not traumatizing or retraumatizing your patients, and never assume that you and your colleagues could not be held accountable for your actions. I strongly considered filing a complaint with my state’s medical board, or filing a complaint with the practice’s management.
