Look Mia - A Video Tape

As residents, we make video documentation of most if not all of our cataract surgeries and anything else that may be done under the scope and worth recording. At the VA, the current recording systems use VHS tapes to record the material. I have heard a DVD system was once tried but worked miserably with poor quality. Hmm, I wonder. . .

While we could speculate all day about why that may be, that is not the point of this writing. The point is, look at those things. Finding them in the store means looking at the bottom shelf nested back in the corner somewhere. Finding a player means going into your back bedroom closet with a shovel and a trash bag. And while that just sounds like a murder scene, it's to rid yourself of other useless junk while you're at it.


She only knew that it was a tape and was probably best served by lying on the table. But that DVD? You bet she knows what to do with that.
