Surgeon: she's not relaxed enough she needs to be more relaxed
Me: okay I will top up her muscle relaxant
*has to go into anaesthetic room, get more rocuronium, draw it up*
Surgeon, as i come back into theatre: she's too tight I need her more relaxed
Me (underneath drapes making sure that in the dark I am putting the rocuronium into the drip and not the arterial line): I'm just giving it
*30 seconds later*
Surgeon: she's still not relaxed
Me:
*smiles* it will just take another minute or so to work
#also the surgeon had not noticed that i was not one of the anaesthetic team that had started the case#i know that as anaesthetists we can get quite impatient waiting for drugs to go in and work#but this was next level#funnily enough i didnt manage to give a drug to the patient when i was in a different room????#it has been a very long and frustrating day#medblr#anaesthetics#help im a doctor
