Minor Operation Theater


Dad doing a minor surgical removal. They call the OR the Operation Theater or in this case the minor operation theater. The OT here is different than the US for sure. Everything is reusable for the most part. They use cloth drapes and gowns. They will even reuse hardware that is removed from a patient if it is still in good shape. I mean why be wasteful. The US could pick up some tips from other countries on how to reuse things. The only thing is you bring your own scrubs, mask, and hat to the OR. I've been reusing the same mask for days now and am looking for a new one! Oh and most of the staff wear flip-flops to the OR.
