Life in the Recovery Room

Life in the recovery room has been interesting as you can see by the sign posted above our toilet. Yes, you do need to develop a knack for flushing it.
We usually hold the patients in the recovery room for about an hour and then transfer them down the stairs to the ward. I don't have the kind of interaction with the patients as I do down on the ward. But I see them when they first wake up from the anesthesia. I see the expression on their faces when they know that the surgery is over and they will look normal again. That alone makes my work here all the worth while.
