In the words of Lalinda Wickamaranthne, "respect your doctors".
The picture below shows a patient who entered the emergency with a stab in the heart and almost bleed his whole blood out. Everyone including the doctors and nurses took the blood and fluid on them without worrying about any infection but managed to save the patient. This is undoubtedly the true face of this profession.

Surgery has the ability to save lives, but a number of hazards lurking in operating rooms. Surgeons, nurses, anesthesiologists, assistants and other professionals working in surgical environments put themselves at risk every day in their careers. If you work as part of a surgical team, it's essential that you familiarize yourself with potential hazards so you can avoid getting injured or exposing yourself to other dangers while on the job.
Physical Hazards
Physical injuries, including cuts, pricks, electrical shocks, burns and falls are some of the most common hazards in operating rooms
Biological Hazards

People working in operating rooms regularly come into contact with blood and other body fluids. They can easily be exposed to a number of diseases -- including HIV and hepatitis -- if they sustain a cut or prick from a sharp surgical tool that has been contaminated or if particulate releases come into contact with their eyes
Chemical Hazards


Anesthetic equipment can malfunction during surgery. Leaks in the connective tubing allow anesthetic gases to seep out, exposing everyone in the operating room. Exposure to waste anesthetic gases can harm a person's motor skills, reflexes and alertness
Health Hazards
In addition to the risks associated with physical injuries and other accidents, people working in surgical environments can develop a number of health-related problems. Surgical professionals spend most of their time on their feet hunched over operating tables, which can cause orthopedic complications, including spinal misalignment and disc degeneration.
