21. Your reward for doing great work and turning over rooms quickly?
Another case in your room. Congrats!
22. No matter what time it is or how long you've been in this case, if
you are given a chance to take a break, take it. It may not come your
way again until tomorrow. Of course, the moment you sit down, the
supervisor walks around the corner and sees you doing nothing.
23. When you reach under the surgeon's gown to grab his cell phone,
the draw string on his scrub pants will be untied.
24. You always forget what it was you needed when you get to the
supply room. You only remember when you get back to the OR.
25. The last patient of the day will be late. As will Dr. Dark Thirty,
who moves slower and takes longer than any other physician.
