Last time, I used: “Anybody need anything while I’m out?” and that went over well. May not make it through this surgery on Friday, so I turn to Lemmy for top-notch suggestions for my potential last words!

    People want to a feel good story I guess. My question doesn’t aligned with that.

    Not that I know each of them as buddies, but at least by face and bedside manner

    By the time patients arrive at the operating room, all they see are people in mask. Patients can somehow recognize their doctors through their voices and characters. The nurses - there are no points of reference to recognize them. If these nurses happen to walk in front of the patient outside of the operation room, it will be with almost certainty the patients won’t recognize them.

    When OP explain they know them by their bedsite manners, how could that be possible? Which hospital has surgery nurses who happen to function as ward nurses (bedsite)? Or, which hospital has the convenience to allow their surgery nurses to meet their patients at wards, which is not their normal place of work. Not only that it’s not normal for surgery nurses to do that, it’s abnormal.

    I try to imagine the SOP of the hospital where the surgery nurses were able to show themselves to OP, damn, I still can’t. I am really out of loop.

    I’ll get downvoted again for this. I’ll take it with pride.
