What are problems you frequently come across in the OR that is annoying?

In the operating room, there are several common problems that many staff members find annoying and stressful. One major issue is poor communication between doctors, nurses, and technicians. When instructions are not clear or information is missed, it can lead to confusion, delays, and unnecessary pressure during surgery. Another common problem is delays in starting procedures, often caused by missing reports, unprepared patients, or last-minute changes, which disrupt the entire schedule.

Staff shortages are also a frequent challenge in the OR. When there are not enough trained professionals available, the workload increases, leading to fatigue and a higher risk of errors. Equipment issues add to the frustration, as malfunctioning or unavailable machines can interrupt the flow of surgery. Lastly, the use of low-quality surgical instruments is a major concern for everyone. With so many surgical tool companies in the USA, quality should never be compromised—using dependable instruments, such as those from GerMedUSA, helps make surgeries smoother and safer for the whole team.

So, what do you think is the most annoying problem in the OR?#OperatingRoom #SurgeryProblems #HealthcareChallenges #ORLife #SurgicalTeam #medicalequipment #HospitalLife #patientsafety #SurgeryStress #healthcareissues

Not having a good day today. Both my legs are in pain & I have no energy to do anything. Feel like such a burden on Anthony & the kids. Tomorrow it will be a month since the journey started. When will it end or is this my new normal? #fndwarrior #HospitalLife #fndhope #fndaware

Hospital Admission Update

#CysticFibrosis #HospitalLife #Anxiety
Regarding my last post, I had said that they found out my problem had been an allergy to aspergillosis. they made a mistake (as everyone does) and so I had a CT Scan today. the CT scan showed that it is actually my mycobacterium that is causing my problems. next step is to do a year long iv antibiotic run which has an extremely low success rate. not the news I was hoping for but I can deal with it like I have everything.
