What’s So Funny About OR Nursing?

We’d been called in for an emergency bowel obstruction. Our scrub nurse had some bad gas – don’t ever trust the cafeteria’s tacos! In the middle of the procedure, the surgeon starts freaking out. “I nicked the bowel! Don’t you smell that?” He ran the bowel over and over before he was finally satisfied that it was intact, and he closed. Afterward, when I talked to the scrub nurse about it, she said, “What was I going to do – tell him I farted?!”
