Don't Have A Cow, Doc!

This is a tale from the O.R.


For the past fifteen years at two different places I have worked with a gifted, very skilled and very nice transplant surgeon.

There is one drawback...

He takes the Lord's name in vain.

Often! If something doesn't go well, it's 'Jesus!' this and 'Jesus!!!' that. The wrong equipment. A delay. An instrument falls on the floor. Someone is not paying attention. Someone hands him the wrong thing...

I have learned that there are different ways he says it, sometimes it's just gentle annoyance, sometimes it's irritation, sometimes it's anger openly expressed.

I cut him some slack because he has an important job to do, and if that's what it takes for him to do his work, so be it. (I am one of his favorites--sometimes he requests me.)

Well the other day, things were not going well. He had a new nurse first assistant, and although words were flying and he even said the dreaded, end-of-his-rope 'Jesus CHRIST!!!!!' The case ended well and the patient did fabulous.

At the end, he was thanking the team, including the nurse who was scrubbed in and helping him with the surgery. He said her contribution was very important, and helpful to him and he appreciated her skills very much. He also asked her if she had any questions....

Now this is the nurse that calls me Shaynameidel (Yiddish for pretty lady) and I call her Zucchero. She doesn't hold back.

There was a pause in the room as she opened her mouth to speak.

'Well, yes, Doctor, I have one question...' she said, simply, 'Why were you calling me Jesus during the entire case????'

The surgeon burst out with Laughter and didn't stop for about five minutes.

The entire O.R. was laughing too.

Laughter IS the best medicine.

(Unless you have stress incontinence...)

Our new Nurse First Assistant

Aloha and Mahalos,

Namaste,

Reiki Doc

And Laughter!!!

Reiki and the Service Nurse

Next in command below the Charge Nurse in the O.R., is the Surgical Specialty Service Nurse. This type of nurse is the go-to person for the surgeon and the O.R., the one who makes sure 'everyone is happy' and 'everything is ready' and 'the job is done right'. Circulating nurses are responsible for many things: the right O.R. table (there are different ones, for orthopedic procedures, for spine procedures, ones that permit x-ray fluoroscopy, and higher weight limit beds for bariatric surgery, to name a few)...the right equipment (there are special bovies, there are ultrasound ones, bipolar ones, ligasure, etc.)...the right instruments (every surgeon has a 'preference card') and that everything will go smoothly in all surgeries in their specialty, even if they are not personally performing the circulating role in that case. We have them for ENT, Gyn, General surgery, Urology, Neurosurgery, Cardiac surgery, Orthopedics and Robotic Surgery.

The old Service Nurse that left the service I worked with recently was a dynamo. Knew what I needed to do that was 'different' for each surgeon, and promptly communicated it with me. Was gregarious and outgoing. And very responsible.

I got to work with their replacement Service Nurse not long ago. Sparks flew. This nurse is really stressed, so much so that I was introduced to a 'helper' nurse that was hired to co-service nurse that particular specialty. It takes two nurses to do the job of the one that just left!

Where is the Reiki in this? I tell you, it is fascinating. I am the Continuous Source of Reiki. But it is my new ability to read the intent and history of the aura of somebody else that is in conflict with me that is astounding!

Within moments of the I don't think this person really likes me, AT ALL. I wonder why?

I got this:

1) RN is insecure

2) RN is very negative thinker and therefore of a lower vibration

3) My vibration is making this RN uncomfortable

4) My intelligence is threatening this RN because they are very mental. So much so to the point that 'I rarely gamble but when I do I win' because this individual is 'always right'.

5) Hypertelorism and behavior shown demonstrate this person is an Adult Child of Alcoholic

6) My intelligence is super-charged by Light and Heart, and it is really quite a combination!

7) This Generation Y nurse is having difficulty accepting the dedication and long hours required of their position, and is resentful.

I was like, 'WOW! Thank you! Now I don't have to wonder what is going on between us. I don't have to worry about what is being said behind my back-and believe me, there has been major character assassination attempts from this Service Nurse against me. I feel free! Unburdened! Love is the Solution For Everything. I will focus on raising the vibration as we work, and ensure that the rest of the team has an excellent experience for this day.'

As we Ascend, things like this are going to happen. Intent of the person you are dealing with will be totally clear and evident, instantaneously. This is how it is going to happen: World Peace. How can you shoot to kill at somebody when you 'get them' when you are in their vicinity? And you 'get' the distortions of the truth from your command?

Namaste,

Reiki Doc
