Operating Room 101

Rule #1: When you are in the Operating Room, don't touch anything blue. Do not cough, sneeze, or laugh over it. Do not smell it. Do not taste it. Do nothing. Stand at least one foot away and say "Oh, that looks sterile!"

Rule #2: When applying a mask, do not peel off the sticker that says, "peel here." When removing the said mask, you get a nose wax with it.

Rule #3: When watching surgeries, don't offer to watch the same one twice in one day.... You will regret it.

Rule #4: Try not to laugh at the patient, despite how ridiculously funny they look.

Rule #6: Talk to the one who makes the most money. They usually have the most to teach you.

Rule #7: Talk to the one who makes the least amount of money. They are the funniest.

Rule #5: It's ok to dance to the music with the surgeon, the scrub tech, and the circulating nurse.
