Staple remover

I remembered during my time when I was doing my Charge Nursing 10 yrs ago. I was In-charge of 33 patients with only 4 bedside nurses who were all novice. Before the Neurosurgeon made his rounds he told me to prepare sterile staple remover. Unfortunately when the time he made his rounds I was attending to a patient raising a concern to one of my nurses. When I came back in the station, I saw my strict Neurosurgeon laughing out loud and he was into tears laughing and I said why are you laughing? He said one of my bedside nurse attended to him and he asked at the patient bedside of the staple remover he requested and my nurse hurriedly came to him sweating with the staple remover we used to have in the office. Well I said to our Neurosurgeon "Doctor, I am so sorry for what happened. Well we just made your day and next time we will give you our office scissors so don't forget to request for that hahaha..." After that funny incident, our Neurosurgeon became so cool and he does not give us a hard time anymore. Truly funny but it changes the professional relationship better with that staple remover.

That's funny.

What kind of incision was it that needed an MD to remove the staples? We take out our own.

Neuro surgeon are a rare breed.

It was a special request from the patient that she wanted her Neurosurgeon to remove the staples and of course she was pampered by her doctor.

Well I was just sharing the laughing experience we had in the unit. I just thank God it did not turn the way you think it will be but we were blessed and good things happen unexpectedly.

What?

I just meant our docs wouldn't have come to the floor to remove staples.
