Surgical Conscience at Three in the Morning
Captions available
The idea
Surgical conscience applies equally when no one is watching, on the last case of a long night as on the first case of the morning.
In practice
A glove that touched something unsterile is changed whether or not anyone saw it, and a doubtful item is replaced.
Where people slip
Fatigue makes breaks more likely and reporting them harder, which is exactly when the habit matters most.
