Close to Home by John McPherson for September 21, 2019

Bit of an odd choice for the song. I’ll suggest The Doors’ “When the Music’s Over”. How about you?

Odd, too, that there are six pairs of gloves and six people wearing scrubs. Does the patient have to wear the gloves too? Or is someone going to put on two pair?

As long as you can’t anticipate the stop. My luck; two people, one glove each!

The patient shouldn’t worry too much, after all time is on your side, yes it is!

Hopefully the main surgeon will get a pair…

By the time a patient gets into the surgical suite, they are usually “out” unless it is a requirement for them to be awake and aware.

I think this is the group that put that loop in my chest?

What happens if bleeb gets the gloves?

You gotta have some fun…….Surgery is stressful.

I knew a surgical nurse she told me they do make fun of some people when they ’re out, it depends on the doctor. I would hate for the doctor to get the giggles. Do you think that is where “died laughing” came from?

At least they aren’t playing with scalpels.

The patient is hearing the music and saying, “tell me about it, I ain’t gettin’ none either”.
