About this listen

In this episode, Dr. Kermode and Dr. Batchelor discuss a new hot topic in the OR, the environment. We start with comparing disposable gowns to reusable gowns in regard to their ability to repel what they claim they will repel. In the next episode, we'll discuss which has less of an environmental impact.
