Sorry - what is the point of William seeing live operations? Apart from giving the press the opportunity to mention his mother (which I dont think is the case)?
I've never SEEN an operation but I know the work, dedication and stress it causes for the surgical team. As a patient I've known the stress it caused me. Just don't see the point.
I agree - seems rather odd. A big ick factor. Surgery is serious business. Can you image if anything goes wrong during the surgery? Even if it has nothing to with his being present, many people will believe his presence was distracting.
