No cases today, so spent some time looking over facilities and reviewing the surgical log.
There are two operating rooms; this is the larger, plenty of lights from tall windows and skylights, an air conditioner which we didn't really need. Our nurse anesthetist didn't trust the anesthesia machine (for inhalation anesthesia) so she relied on spinal anesthesia: pt is awake but numb from the upper abdomen down.
Home for the afternoon, a long nap prompted by a combination of fatigue/jet lag and mild gastroenteritis. Just what I needed; I was okay the rest of the trip.
