Carving Turkeys in the OR
Today was actually a very frustrating day, but there was actually a high point to it. Debbie, Jackie, and I got to carve a dozen WHOLE turkeys in the OR hallway today. It was kind of odd having an occasional patient being rolled by, but eventually the OR staff figured it was probably best not to use this hallway during lunchtime. So, it was quite amuzing to watch the three of us, because I had never carved a turkey and Jackie was trying to save all the extra pieces, like the neck, to go home and making dressing. A dozen turkeys takes a while to carve. Debbie and Jackie took a stretch break to keep the muscles from cramping while Marcil brought us more turkeys. We were so cute. We each had our red shirt, apron, surgical gloves, and Santa hat on. Nobody can say Anesthesia ain’t festive! ;) Dr. Paulus even got a picture of us before we started our carving. Too bad, I don’t think anyone got a during picture. Oh well…That was my entertainment for the day…The rest of it could be thrown out and done over…
