In the operating room of a large, well-known hospital, it was the nurse’s first day on the surgical team. She was responsible that all instruments and materials were accounted for before completing the final steps of the operation.
She said to the surgeon,
“I removed them all,” the doctor declared emphatically. “We’ll close the incision now.”
“No,” the rookie nurse objected, “we used 12 sponges.”
“I’ll take the responsibility,” the surgeon said grimly. “Suture.”
“You can’t do that, sir,” blasted the nurse. “think of the patient.”
The surgeon smiled and lifted his foot, showing the nurse the twelfth sponge. “You’ll do just fine in this or any other hospital.”
When you know you’re right, you can’t back down.

Thanks!
I used to say that people needed us 'fence-sitters' because we usually could see both sides of an issue and could help with compromising. But---sometimes, even WE need to stand up for our convictions. I've done better as I've gotten older!!!!!
We've had a wonderful day today at the beach... Beautiful weather after the rain yesterday (clear, sunny, breezy, warm---PERFECT)...
Hugs,
Betsy
