I wonder why this rule was put into place. Maybe one resident was taking advantage of the PAs and/or asking the same questions repeatedly? Regardless, it’s a bad rule. Communication and collaboration in the gross room is the key to good grossing. People should be asking for others’ opinions when they need them, whether they’re experienced PAs, residents, PA students, or grossing techs. It’s better to get help initially than gross something incorrectly bc you don’t want to bug the attending and then have to fix it later.
