    I'll never forget the time Frank Burns forgot to exteriorize a colon. Trapper and I laughed and laughed!

    Then Trapper was replaced by a more boring doctor and we were never again so amused.

    It sounds like an excellent idea. I just wonder how do you make sure you don't fail to scan a sponge. They are very busy and you may have a doctor yelling get me this or get me that.
    Sometimes when you come up with something new it causes more problems.
    I wonder when we will read that the scanner device was left in a patient.
