Angry Doc

So I was in the O.R. room yesterday, by the way I am a student, and we are getting set up for a patient to roll back. We established our sterile fields and set up what needed to be set up for this shoulder arthroscopy case. The patient enters the room and the docs do their thing with the patient and anesthesia fires up the gases to put this patient to sleep. The patient goes out and the surgeon leaves the room to scrub. At this time I hand the circulator the prepping wand so she can get started with the prep. She does her things prepping the arm and holding it. At this time the surgeon comes back in the room and asks me to hold the arm while he decides to drape the patient. I grab the patients wrist and hold it up like any normal person would do. the doc looks at me and says "You have to hold it hard and tight."

"Alright." I grab a bit harder and squeeze tightly.

He stands there, his drape in front of him, staring at me. At this point in time I'm thinking what anyone would... WHAT THE FUCK? And it this moment in time, as everyone is staring at me, the doc, angry as shit, goes. "DON'T YOU KNOW WHAT HARD IS?! YOU grab it like this..."

At this point in time I wish I could have stabbed the doc in the face and said "Don't you know what the fuck you are trying to explain bitch?" but as a student you have to sit there and take everything with a grain of salt.

In the end he explained it wrong anyway because what I needed to do was grab taughtly and pull up hard while he draped.

Sorry a Massa, Yessa Massa.
