Resident Doctor community is an intelligent community. Combined with the need to find unorthodox solutions to problems like shortage of consumables, failure of support personnel, or administrative troubles, they come up with innovative solutions.
Stainless steel rotating top stools are used to sit on while performing minor procedures in the labor ward, such as suturing episiotomy, perineal tear, vaginal tear, and instrumental vaginal delivery. There is often some blood spilled on the stool tops. The persons responsible for cleaning the area often do not get around to cleaning the stool tops, due to various reasons. One option the Resident Doctor has is to clean it him/herself. Getting the cleaner to clean it is not a workable option due to various reasons. The photograph shows such a stool, the blood on its top covered by a sterile paper wrapper of surgical gloves. It is the innovative solution found by the Resident Doctors. The wrapper of the gloves they wear are put on top of the stools so that the blood on the stool top does not contaminate their clothes. Throwing the wrapper away after use is a simple matter.
That reminds me of poor people who sleep on the ground after covering it with newspaper.
