True to her words, Bette was in theatre when the patient was wheeled in, checking primarily that the instruments she needed were there.
Truth was, she always felt terrible on the rare occasions when she could not be present when the patient arrived. Working in a busy hospital meant she could be called at any moment for a consult in the ER, and although there was a great chance that the patient would never remember it, it did not make it less acceptable in her eyes.
But she also liked hanging around, as she waited for her charge, in what she considered her domain, magnanimously tying up the scrub nurse’s gown, bothering the anaesthesiologist, generally standing by, quiet, helping if needed. Pulling out a cheek with a finger hooked in the mouth to widen the view when intubation was difficult or pushing the trachea this way or that, helping the patient onto the narrow table, checking to make sure their rear end was south of the table-break, just in case she needed to change position for a staple-job.
She was there for that last bit of reassurance, just in case the patient started looking around nervously at the hustle and bustle of people and machines around, wondering why they were not asleep yet as surely they were meant to be asleep by now!
Bette was there to speak the comforting words as she watched the mother’s milk of morpheus going in and the patient slipping in their chemical induced slumber, always murmuring to them, "Have a nice dream. We’ll take good care of you."
A different Bette, then, suddenly sprang to the fore. She was up next, her time to perform, starting with the scrubbing ritual, done with studious intent, in the adjoining room.
She grabbed a pre-packaged brush, impregnated with soap, turning the water on by hitting the knee-controlled switch.
Quick on and off, just to get wet followed by a full ten minutes of precise and thorough scrubbing, cradling each finger with the flexible brush, flipping from the scouring side to the soft side, one at a time, zooming the gap between each finger then progressing down the arm.
She banged the water-trigger once more, dipping a hand into the stream, scooping it upward, fingers apart, elbow last, washing the suds away carefully. Then she repeated the same process with the other arm before knee-knocking the water off and making her way back into the OR , dripping water off from her elbows.
