No ax to grind, just writing down because no one to talk to:
The nurse who led me from the waiting room to the pre-surgery room was trying to insert the line for the IV. She was having difficulty because her light was broken. Huh? She said there is a light that helps in finding veins. But hers was broken. I asked if there was only 1 on the floor, but she didn't answer. Also in the room now was Christian, who had the computer and was asking me questions and entering responses on that. He looked over and saw Nurse A was having difficulty inserting the IV. He spoke to her in the front of the room. I couldn't hear. Nurse A finally got the needle in arm. Christian said something; again they spoke. She came back and took the needle out, saying it wouldn't work. She came back, took another look, then stood up and saying, "I'll defer to Christian, " she left the room, never to return. So Christian, he of the computer intake, came over to the other side and succeeded in inserting the IV line.
I think those 2 may have had previous disagreements.
