TheBanyanTree: A happy coincidence

[Anita Coia]

!!!!  Wow. What a fantastic job you have. Having had a caesar, I am very
grateful for the skill of the wonderful theatre staff. I was very nervous,
and they were wonderfully reassuring, making me laugh while also explaining
what was going on. And, as Sal said, the outcome was wonderful. I wonder if
that mother knows how close she was to losing her child - I can't think of
anything worse than waking to a result like that. Thank you on behalf of
her!

After leaving home at the usual time on Thursday morning I somehow managed
to get to work ten minutes early.  Considering that work is only a ten to
fifteen minute drive away, and I don't speed, that's some accomplishment.

I imagined I would have some waiting to do but when I walked into the
theatre the first patient was already on the table being prepped for her
spinal anaesthetic.    

"You're early," I remarked to the anaesthetist.  As he worked he explained
that another caesar had been put on the list, an emergency case, and we had
to get this one done and out of the way because there was no spare theatre.
So off I went to do the first part of my job; scrub, glove, catheterise and
paint the site.
