cottons and gauzes

am waiting for maghrib...kind of having nothing to do~
(nothing to do???...catch up ur unfinished revision for god sake!)
hurm...well, yeah..dat's important too...but wait a sec...need to share sum findings here-
[sorry...my inner minds are always at loggerheads nowadays...hehe]

well...talking about precise...after one of my ENTs classes...i stayed to ask one of the dr., well...he was dr Aly elGarem, about my ENT assignment...and he gave me a very nice tip-

let me give you a tip regarding surgery...
u know..in simple operations like in the pharynx or nose, complications are usually due to careless surgeons; when they forget to take out what they have put in like gauzes and cottons and thus the patient will end up chocking the gauze or unfortunately aspirate small balls of bloody cottons and this really isn't a forgivable mistake to be done!
so, what i did is...i trained my scrub nurses to arrange my cottons and gauzes in fives. she'll give me one at a time from a stack of fives and she will rearrange the one i got out from the patient into stacks of fives. so by dis, she will know and i will be reminded if any gauzes or cotton are left inside (by recalculating them in stacks of fives...hehe)...

was that understandable enough?
to many "stacks of fives"s...hehe

alas...when i was given this tip by the dr. i realized that am heading to a journey requiring extreme cautious in a very quick pace! be fast and be accurate...am i capable of that?...we'll c~
i wonder if i ever gonna get the chance to actually perform any surgery within these two years...hehe
