No, they shouldn’t. Being that I work in the OR, it’s not a place for children…many won’t understand what is being done, and it can tramuatise them more than the presurgery things. The meds they will give the kids makes it so they WON”T remember…surgery is amazing stuff..BUT not for little ones to view….many adults can’t handle it either…my own daughter had a brain tumor removed 2 wks ago…I wasn’t allowed to go, nor did I want to go…it was my child…my heart…
