Many times have I been on standby for receiving surgical specimens in the early evening when, not hearing anything, I have strolled down to Theatre to find out what the delay is......only to discover it in darkness ( no, they were not working in the dark, altho some may say they usually do   lol).......the Surgeon cancelled and couldn't be bothered to inform us!
