Gamble LostCardiac Bypass, Hour 6
Sterile field. The aorta is currently in my hand. I've been standing since eight in the morning.
Gamble at 14:03. The Shop-Vac Adapter had been pre-routed to the floor unit at the start of the procedure — exactly for this reason.
No break in scrub. No break in concentration. The procedure concluded successfully at 15:41.
“A cardiothoracic surgeon does not step away from an aorta. Seel-Tite gets that.”

Dr. Moira Petrescu
Cardiothoracic Surgeon
