      I had follow-up hand surgery to a past flexor tendon injury ~ten days ago (long story) (and yes I've been typing through it) but... Someone write the history of medical tape, and I'll preorder the book.😀 The steri-strip, the self-adherent coban, the micropore. Amazing tech tbh.

      I mean considering how much a big danger of any surgery is.. surgical site infection. Anyway, I always like the stories of innovations we get so used to that we forget they're big deal stories. Hit me up, whoever is writing that book on the magic of mundane medical tech. 😀

          So I have partial and small wound dehiscence because blah blah necessarily aggressive range-of-motion therapy blah no way to make stitches work well at the metacarpophalangeal joint, blah blah. What did folks do before steri-strips? Oh, right. Suck it up. Suboptimal results.

          Also, my surgery was allegedly "wide-awake" so they could check if the repair worked and I asked my doc if I could *watch*... Anyway, they put me almost completely under. I'm pretty sure there's a note on my file: put her under or she'll ask questions non-stop. 😬

          Tegaderm. Flaming marvelous stuff. Takes a couple of goes to learn to put it on right, but it's onion-skin thin, completely flexible, breathable, & one can shower without the wound going gloopy. Also proper 1st-aid burn dressings - as mundane as you like but lifesaving stuff.

          Sitting in surgery prep, waiting for anesthetic to kick in, realized doc was going to slice the lens out of my eye & replace it w/piece of plastic. Last wk he stuck a tube in, pulled out some crud, left an air bubble to fill up the space until the eye produces more fluid. MY EYE!

          What I want, as a person allergic to some adhesives, is a complete guide to which tapes use which adhesives! I also wish someone in the medical world had told me about Skin Prep protective wipes (I found out about them on the Internet!)

          "Better: A Surgeon's Notes on Performance” by Atul Gawande. The quote on not requiring genius but moral clarity and willingness to try makes it into a lot of my keynotes.

          We could do with a lot more books on the mundane miracles.
