Loading ...What impressed me was the sterility precautions in the OR. The nurse that wheeled me from prep had to announce on her radio (everyone was wired!) she was going to OR5. When we arrived, before opening the doors, she again had to announce that she was Entering OR5 before going in. They pushed me next to the operating gurney and quickly slid my body and paper gown sideways onto the new table, and the transport nurse and gurney quickly left the room. I heard her announce her exit on the OR comms. On the ceiling vents, there were stainless boxes of apparent air sterilizers. And EVERYONE in the room was in a full-body inflated balloon suit, dragging a vent hose pipe. Complete environment isolation of the bodies working in the room. I felt like a dirtball in a hazmat laboratory. But it works! No sign of infection so far. Praying for no clots. I’m on Baby Aspirin morning and night.
