Day 1

Just one of those days. Nothing scary on the horizon- and our desert world is getting watered 🙂

Loaded for Bear

Torrential ? Maybe not- but you never know when there will be some blood loss to be dealt with …

One of those AAA cases with a socked-in retro-peritoneum..

Too much time on my hands- so I double up on the arsenal, and pull up my tanks…

Major Fail !

I got a little more than that (450 cc’s), but we got more rain than we lost in terms of blood volume…

Yawn…

So I slink out of the OR with the backup Cell Saver in tow… (maybe nobody noticed)
