One can get unscrubbed and, well, need to back out of the roomo and go change.

An interest in medicine and all things African-your blog was a shoe-in the moment I saw the link on another medical blog whose name escapes me right now.

I remember my surgical chief, a woman who was about eleven months pregnant: I swear, she was HUGE and no way in hell was she going to stop working no less than thirty seconds before that baby dropped. We were on the liver service and doing a lot of whipples. These are long-ish cases, and the chief was supposed to do them all. The attending was famously picky about not allowing a single red blood cell of blood loss. My chief did not want to suffer the loss of face -- or loss of the case -- that would result if she had to scrub out during a operation. So, recognizing the reduced size of her bladder, she would simply insert a foley catheter and wear a leg bag during the course of the operation, then remove it afterwards.shadowfaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11648279307230813762noreply@blogger.com
