Actually what the fuck am I saying, real life operation smells horrible and you have to spend up to 4 hours wishing you could scratch your nose / have a wee.

Aren't all the smelly bits are contained in their own seperate waterproof baggy bits?

Sometimes they smell even worse if you're cutting out infected bits or chopping up bowel.

I can assure you that many operations stink to high hell.
Some highlights:
- Old man gets trans urethral resectioning of the prostate. It smells like dirty off prawns and it permeates every parcel of air in the room.
- Somebody is getting a proctoscopy and they reflexively push out the scope whil the doctor is still tinkering around in there so he has to push it back up and then it gets dumped on the table in front of me covered in shit and blood and I have to clean it

It's the surgical diathermy burning their flesh that does it, I think.
