Dealing with whipper-snapper surgeons, the aggravation of unavail-
able medications, custom packs being recalled, scrub struggles, stor-
age issues, overzealous surveyors, unrealistic turnover times and
clashing with an anesthesiologist doesn't seem so irritating. In fact, I
actually miss these things quite a bit.
I really do hope all this social distancing and mask wearing lets us
return to how things used to be just a few months ago. In the mean-
time, I'm using the virus vacation as an opportunity to appreciate all
the things I miss about this never boring and always fulfilling career
as an OR nurse.
