Sitting in his mother’s lap after his surgery, he reached for a cup and then motioned to Carla, the pediatrician, to fill it. He was very thirsty---or just working us---because for the next 15-20 minutes he would drink, turn to one of us in the PACU with his cup and want it filled. It really made us laugh.
This humorous boy give us a needed tension release after a slight scare in the morning. Earlier, a team member was pricked by a needle used on a young child. We pack HIV testing kits on every trip, just for such accidents. Following our HIV protocol, the pediatrician immediately tested the team member and patient; the results were negative. What could have been a very serious situation thankfully turned out to be benign.
