I spent a fair amount of time in OR as a medical photographer.
It does happen frequently. For abdominal surgery, the patients are usually nude, then d****d, exposing only the field of interest. After surgery, the d****s are changed.
I remember on case in particular, a large black woman. They were finished, and the d****s taken off, but no one covered her back up. After her laying there spreadeagled for about 5 minutes, one of the nurses said "Will someone please cover the patient up?"
