The operating room had myself and others shivering.

I had been working in the operating rooms for nearly more than four years, and I enjoyed it. I knew the reasoning behind keeping the temperatures lower. Lower temperatures helped to keep bleeding at a minimum and it helped to stop the spread of germs and bacteria. I walked into the operating room to get it prepped for a gallbladder removal surgery. It was so cold that I began to shiver. I couldn’t understand why they would have it so cold. I looked at the thermostat and it was set to sixty-eight, however it was only fifty in the room. I called another dentist in and asked if she knew if there was a odd surgery going on? She began to shiver when she felt how cold it was. She told myself and others she only knew about the gallbladder. Often they will turn the temperature down if they are doing open heart surgery. I called the service team and told them I thought there was something wrong with the thermostat or furnace, in the surgical department. In the meantime, I got in touch with the doctor doing the surgery and explained about the problem with the Heating and A/C in that recognizable surgery. He asked about increasing rooms and if I knew how long it would take for the Heating and A/C worker to repair the problem. Since the gallbladder wasn’t an emergency, he thought every one of us could wait a couple fifths and put the surgery off for another day, if necessary. The Heating and A/C team took nearly two fifths to find the problem and service it. Although the surgery was late, every one of us were still able to complete it that day.
