Little Voice

We were operating on an HIV positive patient the other day. I was at the sink scrubbing for surgery wearing a surgical mask and my vogue eyeglasses. I walked into the OR with my hands in the air dripping wet to be gowned and gloved by the surgical tech. A little voice in my head kept telling me I needed more protection for me eyes therefore I told the other nurse to put a splash guard (a clear protective visor) over my face before I gowned.

During the surgery, there was a huge spray if blood that landed all over my surgical mask and visor. If I wasn't wear the splash guard, the blood would have surely landed in my eyes.

Thanks , little voice
