“These experiences but emphasize the importance of an efficient routine . . . in every operating room. Even if your . . . methods are so perfected that only one death occurs in sixteen thousand . . . that one life is well worthy of watchfulness and care and preparation with every patient of the series. It is with sad memories of lives lost because I was not prepared or efficient that I would speak to you with impressive earnestness.” - W. Wayne Babcock, M.D1924
