Surgical Instruments Falling from the Sky!

Once upon a time, I had a dream that I was walking down the streets of Los Angeles when suddenly, surgical instruments started falling from the sky. Everywhere I looked, scalpels, forceps, and clamps were raining down on the city. At first, I was terrified, but then I realized that I’m a sterile processing professional, so I decided to turn this nightmare into a comedic opportunity.

So, I started making jokes:

“Looks like LA is finally getting a taste of the surgeon’s scalpel.”

“This is like a doctor’s dream come true. Free surgical instruments falling from the sky!”

“The good news is, if you need an operation, you won’t have to go far to find the tools.”

As I walked down the street, dodging the falling instruments, I couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity of it all. And just as suddenly as it started, the rain of surgical instruments stopped.

I woke up from the dream, grateful that it was only a dream and that surgical instruments don’t actually fall from the sky. But I couldn’t help but smile at the idea of a sterile processing professional walking down the streets of Los Angeles, dodging falling surgical instruments and making jokes along the way.
