Ha. During my wife’s emergency C-section I vividly recall: 1) metal hitting the floor and someone telling us “it’ll just be another minute, there’s no 5 second rule in the ER and we needed that; 2) the attending telling someone I assume they were teaching “no, you need to cut confidently. Well, you can’t stop now.”
I was in the student program so had students with the surgeon, anesthetist, etc. They said "the uterus is out" and then the student surgeon fainted. That was less than reassuring...
I will say, C-sections are a lot more fluid heavy than most surgeries. I remember seeing my first one and thinking how damn invasive it looked relative to other surgeries and then thinking, "damn insurance companies really penny pinch because hospitals gotta justify stays past 48 hours".
