[HSF] [Fwd: Image of the Week - Fixing a tube :)]

[prasannasimha]

We have  a peculiar problem. - We do use autoclavable clothes but what 
has happened is our Laundry has got "overwhelmed" and so we have had to 
use disposable clothes for some of the OR's - actually it is 
manufactured in India itself and it seems to work cheaper than the whole 
gamut of getting extra laundry machines , clothes and hiring extra 
people to run the machines according to our hospital!! It is supposed to 
be made of some environmentally friendly  paper thing -I am not sure 
what !! At least that 's what the cover says :-)
