T2  - Introduction to the Operating Room
AB  - Think  about  the  last  time  you  were  at  home,  relaxed  on  the  sofa,  completely  immersed  in  a  film.  The  lights  are  low,  you  feel  the  tension  building—you’re  trying  to  figure  out  what  will  happen  next.  Then  one  of  your  roommates  bursts  into  the  room  and  turns  all  the  lights  on.  She  is  upset,  she  failed  an  exam.  You  feel  for  her,  stop  the  film  and  spend  the  next  10  minutes  consoling  her.  You’re  grateful  when  she  leaves  and  allows  you  to  go  back  to  the  film.  A  few  minutes  later,  your  phone  rings—you  reject  the  call,  but  it  rings  again.  One  of  your  medical  schoolmates  wants  to  talk  to  you;  he’s  in  trouble  with  his  girlfriend  (again…).  As  a  Good  Samaritan,  you  lend  him  a  sympathetic  ear  for  a  few  minutes.  When  he  is  calmer,  he  gets  off  the  phone  and  you’re  once  again  free  to  enjoy  the  film.  But  a  few  minutes  later  your  other  roommates  arrive  home—will  you  help  to  carry  the  groceries  from  the  car?  asks  one.  Of  course  you  will.  As  you  bring  the  last  bag  to  the  kitchen  they  ask  you  to  join  them  for  dinner—after  all,  you  haven’t  seen  them  much  lately.  You  accept,  as  you  don’t  want  to  be  the  only  one  not  joining  in,  but  by  now  you’re  in  a  rather  foul  mood—and  the  rest  of  the  movie  will  have  to  wait.
