My ever-so-practial surgical outfit. This was taken just before I took the three magic pills and got whisked off for surgery. The stockings are anti-thrombosis (clot) stockings, which help prevent blood from pooling in the legs while laying down so long. I've got special, hospital provided mesh underwear under the gown, too - be glad that's not visible!

Dr. Stephanie Nickel, and Dr. Andrea Fenk-Mayer. The trick here was to get Dr. Fenk-Mayer to stand still long enough to get the shot - the woman is a human whirlwind, constantly in motion. She has more energy than anyone I've seen
