  1. Surgery Patient Name MR Number DOB • Op Note: • Look in your pocket. There should be a Maxwell’s in there. Follow the format given to you. • Things to Know: • Surgeons are to the point—they want no more and no less info than is needed to take care of the Pt. • PATs are pre-op physical exams performed in the Surgical Admitting Center: be thorough and quick. • Your job will often consist only of retracting and cutting sutures. Become adept with steady hands. • Practice your knots so you can be a star when you get to suture something. • Always carry an energy bar or food in your lab coat pocket (a different pocket from your hemoccult supplies). • Pee BEFORE going to the OR. It is bad form to scrub out routinely for bathroom breaks. • It is always better to ask before touching/doing anything if you are not sure! • Divide up the cases the day before they are scheduled. You should know about the case and the patient before you get to the OR. • Always be in the OR waiting and ready when the attending arrives. • Take advantage of procedure opportunities! • No matter how much you are scolded and how tired you may be, remain a human being. That way you will still have friends after surgery. Date Time General Surgery Daily/Progress Note—MS III S: 24 hour events… the nurses’ observations may be helpful.
