Learning operating room sterile technique was not as easy as one might expect. During another second year surgical rotation at Atlantic City Hospital, the very first thing we had to learn was how to scrub at the sink, then make it past the operating room door without touching anything, how to hold our hands so dirty water from the elbows wouldn’t drip on clean hands, how to ask for and receive a sterile towel to dry our hands, then how to get into the surgical gown and gloves without contaminating anything or anyone on the scrub table, and finally how not to contaminate the surgeon when standing at the table. If one watches an experienced surgeon do it, it is much like a well-performed symphony. Watching a medical student do it is only a bit funnier than watching a medical show on TV where they have no concept of what to do with a surgical mask or at a scrub sink. The first time I tried, I never made it to the surgical table. The scrub nurse kept sending me back over and over again so that by the time I got it right, the case was over. Humbled once again. But eventually I got the hang of it and once down pat, it was like rote.
