Photo Hunters : “Shoes”
Here are my operating theatre shoes… a bit stained, I know… with “you know what”.
These shoes aren’t made for walking. They’d give you aches if you walked very far in them. They’re made for comfortable standing for long periods. And the toe box is very tough… so that the occasional accidental drop of the business-end of the knife might not cut the surgeon’s toes. ;-).. hopefully.
Photo Hunters : “Art”
While I’m on a roll…. here’s the “ART” of HANDWASHING.

Semmelweiss would have been proud of this. 
He is the doctor who first advocated the widespread practice of handwashing in clinical practice and reduced death by infection in post-delivery mothers just by that simple method.
Photo Hunters : “Colourful”
And something colourful to feast your eyes upon:
The sutures cabinet in operating theatre. Imagine what colours we put into the body when we’ve finished with the operation.
Seriously though, they are colour-coded to help identify the type of suture in the packs. Some ARE the colours shown on the packs, but others aren’t, e.g. “Mersilk” is black and “Monosyn” is colourless.
