“So, I heard about this sterile processing technician who was in a bit of a pickle. She had just finished assembling 30 surgical instrument trays, but couldn’t find her precious necklace pendant! She searched high and low, but with each passing moment, her anxiety grew. What if it had fallen into one of the trays? She couldn’t bear the thought of a patient getting a surprise accessory during surgery! To make matters worse, she was running out of time. She had to catch the bus in 20 minutes, but she couldn’t leave until she found her pendant. And to top it all off, the phone wouldn’t stop ringing! Finally, in a moment of desperation, she decided to check the one place she had been avoiding all along—her locker. And what do you know? There it was, in her purse! She had been so worried about it falling into a tray that she forgot she had taken it off when she got to work. What is the moral of the story? Always double-check your locker before panicking!”
