I was getting a heart cath. They had prepped me and sent the camera up through the artery in my groin to near my heart. That’s not a pleasant procedure.

The large monitor the surgeons were using went zzzzt zzzzt and it blacked out.

They called and were told there were no other operating rooms available and tech services were not available either. They said they would have to back the cable out and we would have to do this again soon.

I told them to roll my gurney over to the monitor. They eventually agreed. I unplugged the data cable, blew it out, and screwed it back in. The images came back up. They rolled the bed back in place and completed my surgery.

I hope you sent them a bill. And everything done in an OR costs three times what it costs anywhere else.
