This is a blog consisting of stories of the days and personalities that exist in an operating suite.
For posterity, this is the text of the very first post on this blog:
I am a nurse in an operating room.
Besides foot pain and chipped nail polish, one thing this job gives me is a heap of stories. And thus this site was born when I thought of posting them because someone else may find them amusing or relatable. For me, it’s a stress-relief.
For the confused, the core is the sterile center of the operating suite where someone who does not belong will be shot on sight… or something. Calling this place Stories From the OR sounded too obvious. No real names are used– ever. I’m stressed, not stupid. With that said, allow me to say this: This site is in no way meant to mock or defame anyone. The sensitive or paranoid need not sue or send me hateful e-mails or anything. It’s all in good fun.
I will clearly never tell you my name. I’ll be known by the blog’s moniker of “admin”. Please don’t press me for details. Comments are allowed though the spam will dictate how long that may go on.
The site is optimised for Firefox, Safari, or any law-abiding browser, that is, not IE. Get a good browser or suffer the badness.
Without further ado, let’s get started…
