AB  - You’ve  met  the  players.  You’ve  been  initiated  into  the  rites  of  the  OR,  which  can  be  one  of  the  most  rewarding  places  to  work  because  of  the  skills  required,  and  can  be  the  most  stressful  because  of  the  skills  required.  Before  we  deal  with  this  tension  between  reward  and  stress,  I  want  to  share  several  perks  to  working  in  the  OR  that  are  seldom  discussed.  First,  you  are  pretty  safe  from  being  held  accountable  to  anything  embarrassing  that  you  might  do  out  in  public;  working  in  the  OR  is  sometimes  like  being  in  the  Witness  Protection  Program  because  no  one  will  recognize  you  with  your  own  clothes  on  and  without  the  mask  and  hat.  Many  people  who  work  in  the  OR  have  an  inside  joke:  “I  didn’t  recognize  you  with  your  clothes  on.”  Also,  if  you  don’t  want  to  talk  about  work  in  social  settings,  a  single  episode  describing  body  fluids,  open  cavities,  or  anything  else  surgical  will  generally  discourage  questions  about  your  job  in  the  future.
