A decison not faced by most database making people


Or other computery people for that matter
Ive been making a theatre management system for the past month now and version 1.0 is ready to be tested.
In the Theatres. With patients being operated on. Obviously. They want me to be there.  In scrubs. To make sure nothing goes wrong.
My boss says i dont have to, but i get the feeling that he would be a bit disapointed if i said no.

Can you choose which op to scrub in for??


Which op would you choose if you could???

unfortunately i dont get to choose, it will be for the whole session - monday morning.


As to what operation i would like to see, i havent really given it much thought, i would probably like to see the operation that I had done when i broke my arm - internal setting and fixation of the radius and ulna - yup, i broke the both of them at once and now have to metal bars in my arm and a majassive scar on one side of it.

Considering where you live, that must make it tough getting through airport security, huh?


My husband's got an artificial heart valve that ticks very much like you might expect an armed bomb would. Similar problem!

hmm - operations - fascinating!!


Maybe you could practise by watching some of those dodgy programs on the health channels - doesn't one of them show a different operation each night or something?


I think you should do it - even if only for the brownie points with your boss.

Did you mean today, Monday morning? Like now?


Oooooh. Just think, he could be in there now, all dressed in blue, watching over a splenectomy or a double bypass or an angioplasty or something.

So, come on Joe, my boy.  How did it go?  We're all desperate to know.


Well we're all desperate, anyway.  Um.  I'm desperate.  Just me.  Desperate Darren.

Its true - no system ever survives first contact with the users. 


It was grand, once you got used to the smell and the sound of saw on bone   I'll have to get a set of scrubs with my name on the back and a logo on the front proclaiming "I am NOT a doc!" with a picture of a scalpel inside one of those banned thingies - you know the ones that say no smoking here type things.


Looks like i will be in and out of the different theatres for the forseeable future though - there are a lot of nurses who need training in how to use it and what better way than in a live environment?
