F.O.T.

“Forced Overtime”- Being forced to stay scrubbed into surgery because the hospital has no one to relieve you at the end of your shift. If you leave, it is patient abandonment and you can lose your job or even be sued.

This has been happening a lot lately and quite frankly I don’t like being forced to do anything by these people.

*sigh*

Something I wrote the other day about my OR fam and an alliteration cause I love to play with words. . “The way we are, we are members of each other. All of us. Everything. The difference ain’t in who is a member and who is not, but in who knows it and who don’t.” ~ #wendellberry . . . . #surgicaltechnologist #surgicaltech #surgtech #ericoverby #poetry #poet #nurse #nursequotes #nurselife #family #alliteration #emergencyroomnurse #operatingroom #doctor #surgeon #surgery #surgicalnurse #surgerylife #residency #residencylife #medicalstudent #essentialworkers #hospitallife #hospital #nurses #surgeonsofinstagram #surgeonslife #doctor #lakecumberland #kentucky (at Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMpBispp7Gd/?igshid=gv1vumeu8678

I was getting coffee and the guy at the drive thru asked me what I had planned for the day, and I said just work which lead to him asking what I do and me explaining what a surgical technologist does. He didn't say anything for a minute and then goes "so....you're the surgeons hype-man?"

I will be adding this to my job description now. I am the surgeons hype-man.

Morning Meditation . I used to rise early in meditation, As the ancient saints and mystics, Looking for peace, bliss, and ecstasy. . Now I awake as the sun rises. I lie beside her, Her head and the tops of her shoulders Revealed from the top of the covers Where we lay. Her face shines, As the sun rolls through the bedroom Curtains and leave her with a mandorla As if she were the subject of iconography. . I lay in silence as I meditate on the artistry Of freckles that are perfectly dotted On her face and shoulders. I venerate the delicate curvature Of her lips and nose. Her eyes closed, Veiled by a composition of lashes That shroud the green mystery underneath. As her hair lays dark and graceful Across the pillows in front of me, I lay in adoration, and know there are none like her. . Moses was not even shown God's face, Yet she has done me one better. . . . . . . #ericoverby #surgtechpoet #surgtech #morning #meditation #mindfulness #adoreher #muse #goddess #appreciation #poetry #poem #kentucky #kentuckypoet #somersetky #payattention #mindfulnesspractice #presence #awe #holy #marriedgoals (at Russell Springs, Kentucky) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAIFFl1j3vk/?igshid=xzfiok1alrsf
