Would you report this?

I was circulating a case in the OR when I was told by the surgeon that the next patient was a VIP. I was setting the room up after I had interviewed this patient (young athlete, never had surgery before and is TERRIFIED) and told my scrub tech to be "on point" because this pt was special to the surgeon. This scrub tech has only worked in the OR for about a year, is completely unprofessional, and I have had multiple issues with her. I have reported these issues when they come up, but nothing has been done about it. This tech has a very hard time seeing beyond herself and her own needs, and often will ask the docs (while in the middle of surgery) if she can drop scrub to go "take care of business". She is pregnant, so they feel bad if they tell her that she can't go. Because of this pregnancy, she is even MORE self centered and cannot stop talking ad nauseum about her pregnancy. If someone makes a comment, she immediately turns the focus to herself-example: "We need to set this room up quickly because this patient is bleeding out." Her response: "I can't move quickly anymore and I am getting ready to wet my pants!" or "Have you pulled all of the supplies that you need for this case?" Her response: "I don't think so, I don't know. I have placenta brain. If I forgot something, I will just ask you for it."

So this young patient just rolled into the OR. He is so nervous that he has required 4mg of Versed. I am trying to do the "Time Out" before induction of anesthesia. The CRNA asks him, "Are you ok now? Are you still nervous?" Before the pt can respond, the scrub tech turns to him and says, "YOU are nervous??? Dude, I am nervous! I am very nervous!" The poor pt turns white, looks up at the CRNA and says, "Oh man, that isn't good." I am trying to do damage control and telling him that she was just kidding, but I am totally seething mad. I told my manager about this, but he brushed it off, saying "Well that's just how she is."

I am really angry about this, but my manager seems to think that I should just forget about it and move on. I thought that we were in the industry of taking care of PATIENTS and I feel strongly that this scenario was plain wrong. Should I go over my manager's head about it or should I just let it go?
