M. but usually there are two or three running late. Raised surgical voices when a surgeon has a two hour case that he can not start at 2:30 because it might run over. We had to do this or lose OR nurses who were often working late and on light days being riffed. I have never found a solution in the plethora of articles on OR management. Very frustrating being yelled at.

Very frustrating being yelled at.
