Behind Closed Doors - Don’t Anger the Gods of Surgery
Could they be to blame for those really bad days in the OR?
Paula Watkins, RN, CNOR
Ever had one of those days when nothing goes right? Or rather, to be exact, when everything goes wrong? You hold your breath just to get out of there before a Sentinel Event happens. (I hear the paperwork after one of those is pretty gruesome.) You ask yourself, "Why me? What did I do to deserve this?" When you get home you call your friend Haley and, interestingly enough, she was fighting fires at her facility that day, too.
