I dropped it!!!

I dropped it.
Yes, i dropped it today, an urine bag.
I dropped it, onto someone.
I dropped the urine bad, onto someone's head...

It was the last case to go for today's operation in the theatre.
Dr G, the specialist and, Dr Y another specialist and one MO were touching up on the last bit of the surgery.
Dr G requested for catheterisation of the urinary bladder towards the end.

I volunteered to prepare the catherther set.
There i went, trying to open up a plastic bag containing a new, empty urinary bag, perhaps my gym effort paid off, i tore up the plastic bag, a *POP* sound followed...

the few seconds was legendary,
all i can see was the urine bag flew out from the plastic bag away from me, high up in the air, in a projectile motion, half way across the theatre...

*doink* the bag hitted the theatre spot lights up in the ceiling,
and then *piak*... ...
... ... ... IT LANDED...
it landed on someone's head ---> my lovely specialist, Dr G who was sitting right below the spot lights, attending to the patient put in litothomy position (aka with legs spread out and with the doctor sits in between the legs)

The whole theatre went into silent and static mode for few seconds,
my heart stopped, i went expression-less(as told by my MO), still holding on the empty plastic bag...

Dr G: Chan Ern Loy, u know i am the one who is going to assess you right?

and then it bursted into laughter...

OMG...
guess everyone was too tension and stressed up for the past few days, and this unexpected foolish act of me actually enlighten everyone in the theatre >.<

MO: thanks for the good laugh, i was so stressed for the past few days until i wanna jump off the building... next time do come to operation theatre with me more often...LOL~
(omg...i swear i din expect it turned out to be a happy ending...phew~)

I sincerely apologise for the incident Dr G, lucky the urine bag is new, sterile and unused before.
(i even suggested to her to write in to reader's digest for the joke column, i must have been crazy to even say that)

ok, gonna zzz...hopefully good day n call tmr:D
