It is wonderful the human mind works. It is even more wonderful when the mind belongs to an intelligent person. I appreciated the surgical repair of a torn surgical gown achieved by one of our resident doctors. It seems it had to be done because the gown was otherwise OK, and we could not just discard it owing to a big operation list and a limited supply of sterile gowns. If they had waited for a new lot of gowns to be ready, they would have had to postpone a few operations for lack of time.
The torn portion was held at the center, and a ligature of a rolled up piece of sterile gauze was tied all around it over intact portion. It was something like burial of the stump after an appendectomy. After the operation was over, the gown was sent for repair by the tailor.
