gong in April 2016, we now have 24 gongs spread throughout our cath
labs, operating rooms and endoscopy suites.
A good gong is easier to come by than you might think; we found
ours — it's 14 inches in diameter and is inscribed with the Chinese
characters for "Peace is here" — in a Staples office-supplies catalog,
for about $75. The accompanying mallet comes with a rubber head
and a porous wooden handle, but we had our maintenance depart-
ment replace the handle with that of a surgical hammer so it meets
AORN standards.
