Act of kindness

Published

Thought it might be nice to share some nice-----kind things that happen at work. My husband bought me a beautiful diamond braclet for Christmas. I have been robbed in the past and was determined to keep by braclet on at all times. Needed to know the boogie man was not going to take it. Well I guess diamond braclets do not belong in the OR. I relized my braclet was gone while circulating a case. I had been to the fifth floor of the hospital, done a local IV sedation case ect. ect. Had no idea where to start looking. To make too long of story already, shorter, the transport aid noticed the case cart on the last case was caught in the dumb waiter. He went through the linens,then the trash, OR BLOODY TRASH!!!!!! He found my braclet wrapped in my glove, in the prep kit in the trash. The wonderful fellow went way above and beyond to help out this coworker.

I will try to find you a picture of the ring that is hanging somewhere in either the trash or the drain pipes of our hospital.

It was my wifes diamond solitaire engagament solitaire ring, oval...

9 1/2 CTW in a platinium setting.

That was three years ago, and I've replaced it three fold, but I still haven't stopped hearing about it.

A suggestion? For those going into OR....

Untie your scrubs, and thread your rings, keys or watches through the belt ties. Then, tie them back up.

All our surgeons do this, and it works great!
