Top 4 Fears in the OR


8 comments:

  1. Haha! My biggest fear is/was my pants falling down in the middle of the surgery. Our school requires students to wear these terrible canary yellow scrubs that they provide- the only problem is they only come in one size XXXL. So if you're small, it's a bit of an adventure. We had to start bringing hair ties and pins to keep our pants up, but it's still always a gamble if you don't tie it just right!

    1. My school was exactly the same. The XS there was your usual XXL, and it was never available anyway.

  2. I am guilty of number 1, fearsome of 2, proud of never falling into 3, and afraid I was never trusted with 4.

  3. My biggest fear was contaminating the OR table or, even worse, the surgical site. I hated being sterile so much.

  7. My biggest fear is accidentally contaminating something. But cutting the knot wrong is pretty high too.
