Behind Closed Doors

The Ten Commandments of Surgery

Paula Watkins, RN, CNOR

The last time I watched The Ten Commandments - the 1956 version with Charlton Heston - I began wondering how closely life in the OR followed the King James version of those rules. I figured that if Hollywood, that center of decadence and debauchery, could make movies about the commandments, I could write a column about them this holiday season without stepping on too many toes.
