I was out in the hall and savagedly word thrashed for about 5 solid unstopped minutes of chastising. What was worse was other medical staff going by as this gal skinned me alive. When she was finished she said, "Mr.Grant, now that we understand each other you will understand without question what to do and not to do, and we can continue as friends." She smiled and turned on her heel into the OR. It took me several more minutes to re-cover from shaking and head hanging before I returned. When I did the surgeon wanted to know had she left any skin on me? :-) "I'm not sure I can't feel anything yet." But a terrifying experience to say the least for a rookie.:-) ted - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
