Scared of the Dark

I don't know about you, but I have always had a fear of the dark.....if I'm in a dark room or outside in the dark, I have to hold my breath and walk very quickly, praying the whole time until I get to a light source! Even though I know God is with me, there's just something eerie about the dark.

The same goes for a dark operating room. In the evening, when most surgeries are over, part of my duty is to restock rooms with supplies. All the rooms have 2 entrances and most of the rooms have a light switch on both sides of the room. But there are a couple that don't. If I go into one of the rooms with just one light switch, I try to enter from the side with it....but if I come from the other side, I have to leave the door propped open or go around because it freaks me out....especially since I know that at least one person has died on the table in each of these rooms.

I hope to explore further the "eerie unknown" and "freakish occurrences" that have occurred in our operating rooms and area in future posts.
