I had to gently chide a surgeon who came out in the middle of a friend's hysterectomy (and bonus ovary removal) to do a kind of "drive by, not expecting any kind of feedback" picture show in the middle for not having a plan on adhesion barriers. He hadn't planned on doing them!

I pointed out her history (or hystery, heh) and the kinda obvious gluey, webby bits in the pictures (they're quite visible once you look at enough of them).

Then I grilled him on which of the then-three brands were on the market and which were had on hand. Dude acted like he was just yanking a bad video card on a Friday afternoon, which I found less than optimal.

I was not surprised when, post-surgery, the rest of the staff attempted to hustle us out the door. I had abort their well-rehearsed ejection procedure to get aftercare instructions ... and to make sure the scripts had already been called in ... and then to get the follow-up appointment cemented and the "oh shit something has gone wrong" post-surgical emergency contact information. I suppose in the future they will have a kind of water slide from the recovery room into the parking lot, and they just will aim for the open passenger-side door.
