The case of KQ - December 7On December 7, Odim, with Hamilton as his assistant, operated on KQ, a six-week-old child with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) and a large ASD. This high-risk operation went well. She was discharged on December 22, 1994. McGilton, who was a circulating nurse for this procedure, said that Hamilton played a leadership role in the operation. Reimer, however, was less certain if Hamilton's presence was significant, since Odim performed the bulk of the procedure himself.
