Those stupid wires.

I'm proud of the work I did today. Yes, I wheeled lots of patients, but I cleaned even more wires. And wiping the wires aren't the bad part; it's coiling them up that's so annoying. Like I'm used to cleaning and wiping medical tools at the dental office, so you'd think the wires would be just the same, right? No! Trying to get a good coil is horribly hard because every time you try to wrap the wire around each other, the whole coil threatens to break apart. Then, when you finally get it wrapped up nice and tight, ten minutes later you see the wires falling apart while they're sitting in the container. Like, why are they falling out when they're just sitting there by themselves? Oh well, I guess it's a skill you need to develop, making sure those wires are coiled properly. Maybe next week it will be easier.
