    Susie and Suzanne | Things We've Seen and Wished We Hadn't.
    Nov 22 2023
    Susie Oh and Suzanne are theatre nurses that I have worked with over the last 13 years. We have shared some highs and many laughs and also been there for each other for support during the lows.

    The camaraderie that we share is still there even if we haven’t been in contact for months. I find these nurses humour and positive spirit lifts all who work with them and create such a lovely atmosphere is a small environment that the Operating Theatre is.
